Jeremiah 39:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 39:4

2 In the ^aeleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the¹ city was penetrated.

3 ^aThen all the princes of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal-Sarezer, Rabmag, with the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.

4 ^aSo it was, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled and went out of the city by night, by way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls. And he went out by way of the¹ plain.

5 But the Chaldean army pursued them and ^aovertook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And when they had captured him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to ^bRiblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him.

6 Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his ^aeyes in Riblah; the king of Babylon also killed all the ^bnobles of Judah.

7 Moreover ^ahe put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with bronze¹ fetters to carry him off to Babylon.

8 ^aAnd the Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the houses of the people with ^bfire, and broke down the ^cwalls of Jerusalem.

9 ^aThen Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people who remained in the city and those who ^bdefected to him, with the rest of the people who remained.
