Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
The Lord's flock - The people carried away captive with Jeconiah formed the Jewish Church, as we are expressly told, whereas Zedekiah and the people of Jerusalem possessed only the externals of the Church and not its reality. It is for this reason that the seventy years' exile counts from Jeconiah's captivity.

Zac 10:3), is carried away into captivity (perfect. proph).
