From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

In the fourth year of Jehoiakim -SeeJeremiah 25:1note. The present chapter belongs to the very end of that year. The capture of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar took place early in Jehoiakim’s fourth year, long before the writing of Jehoiakim’s scroll. The humiliation seems to have sunk deeply into the heart of Jehoiakim, and when Jeremiah prophesied extended dominion to the ChaldaeansJeremiah 36:29, his anger knew no bounds.
