| who had made him swear by God--Zedekiah received his crown on the express condition of taking a solemn oath of fealty to the king of Babylon (Eze 17:13); so that his revolt by joining in a league with Pharaoh-hophra, king of Egypt, involved the crime of perjury. His own pride and obdurate impiety, the incurable idolatry of the nation, and their reckless disregard of prophetic warnings, brought down on his already sadly reduced kingdom the long threatened judgments of God. Nebuchadnezzar, the executioner of the divine vengeance, commenced a third siege of Jerusalem, which, after holding out for a year and a half, was taken in the eleventh year of the reign of Zedekiah. It resulted in the burning of the temple, with, most probably, the ark, and in the overthrow of the kingdom of Judah (see on Kg2 25:1-7; Eze 12:13; Eze 17:16). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| The oath of allegiance was taken when he was first installed in his kingdom. On Zedekiah's sin in breaking his oath, see Eze 17:18-20; Eze 21:25. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| By God - Who had required him to swear fealty and constant obedience to him by the true God, whom he called upon to be a witness against him if he broke his oath. So his rebellion was aggravated with perjury, and horrid contempt of God. |
16 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], surely in the place [04725] where the king [04428] dwelleth that made him king [04427], whose oath [0423] he despised [0959], and whose covenant [01285] he brake [06565], even with him in the midst [08432] of Babylon [0894] he shall die [04191].
13 My net [07568] also will I spread [06566] upon him, and he shall be taken [08610] in my snare [04686]: and I will bring [0935] him to Babylon [0894] to the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778]; yet shall he not see [07200] it, though he shall die [04191] there.
1 And it came to pass in the ninth [08671] year [08141] of his reign [04427], in the tenth [06224] month [02320], in the tenth [06218] day of the month [02320], that Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came [0935], he, and all his host [02428], against Jerusalem [03389], and pitched [02583] against it; and they built [01129] forts [01785] against it round about [05439].
2 And the city [05892] was besieged [0935] [04692] unto the eleventh [06249] [06240] year [08141] of king [04428] Zedekiah [06667].
3 And on the ninth [08672] day of the fourth month [02320] the famine [07458] prevailed [02388] in the city [05892], and there was no bread [03899] for the people [05971] of the land [0776].
4 And the city [05892] was broken up [01234], and all the men [0582] of war [04421] fled by night [03915] by the way [01870] of the gate [08179] between two walls [02346], which is by the king's [04428] garden [01588]: (now the Chaldees [03778] were against the city [05892] round about [05439]:) and the king went [03212] the way [01870] toward the plain [06160].
5 And the army [02428] of the Chaldees [03778] pursued [07291] after [0310] the king [04428], and overtook [05381] him in the plains [06160] of Jericho [03405]: and all his army [02428] were scattered [06327] from him.
6 So they took [08610] the king [04428], and brought him up [05927] to the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] to Riblah [07247]; and they gave [01696] judgment [04941] upon him.
7 And they slew [07819] the sons [01121] of Zedekiah [06667] before his eyes [05869], and put out [05786] the eyes [05869] of Zedekiah [06667], and bound [0631] him with fetters [05178] of brass [05178], and carried [0935] him to Babylon [0894].
13 And hath taken [03947] of the king's [04410] seed [02233], and made [03772] a covenant [01285] with him, and hath taken [0935] an oath [0423] of him: he hath also taken [03947] the mighty [0352] of the land [0776]:
25 And thou, profane [02491] wicked [07563] prince [05387] of Israel [03478], whose day [03117] is come [0935], when [06256] iniquity [05771] shall have an end [07093],
18 Seeing he despised [0959] the oath [0423] by breaking [06565] the covenant [01285], when, lo, he had given [05414] his hand [03027], and hath done [06213] all these things, he shall not escape [04422].
19 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; As I live [02416], surely mine oath [0423] that he hath despised [0959], and my covenant [01285] that he hath broken [06331], even it will I recompense [05414] upon his own head [07218].
20 And I will spread [06566] my net [07568] upon him, and he shall be taken [08610] in my snare [04686], and I will bring [0935] him to Babylon [0894], and will plead [08199] with him there for his trespass [04603] that he hath trespassed [04604] against me.
