Men, and women, and children, and the king' s daughters - See the note on Jeremiah 41:10 (note). It is truly surprising that the Chaldeans should have left behind any of the royal family of Judah! But,
1.Perhaps they knew not there were any.
2.If they did know, they might think, being children of concubines, they could not inherit. Or,
3.That being females, they were not eligible. And they had taken care to seize all Zedekiah' s sons, and slay them before his eyes.
