2 Kings 24:15

The mighty of the land - Or "the great," "the powerful." The word used is quite distinct from that in II Kings 24:14, II Kings 24:16. It refers, not to bodily strength or fitness for war, hut to civil rank or dignity. The term would include all civil and all ecclesiastical functionaries - the nobles, courtiers, and elders of the city on the one hand, the priests, prophets (among them, Ezekiel), and Levites on the other.
