Barnes' Notes
These captains belonged to the party who had all along resisted Jeremiah' s counsels, and had led Zedekiah astray. Now however that events had proved that the prophet' s counsels had been wise and true, they cannot for shame find fault with him, but they affirm that he is under the influence of Baruch, a traitor who has sold himself to the Chaldaeans, and seeks only the hurt of the people.
