Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The archives of the Babylonian kingdom would contain accounts of the insurrections raised, or threatened, by Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah Kg2 24:1, Kg2 24:10, Kg2 24:20. It does not appear that there had ever been any rebellion against Persia. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Hath made insurrection against kings - How true is the proverb, "It is an easy thing to find a staff to beat a dog!" The struggles of the Israelites to preserve or regain their independency, which they had from God, are termed insurrection, rebellion, and sedition: because at last they fell under the power of their oppressors. Had they been successful in these struggles, such offensive words had never been used. In 1688 the people of England struggled to throw off an oppressive government, that was changing the times and the seasons, and overthrowing the religion of the country, and setting up in its place the spurious off-spring of popery and arbitrary government. They were successful; and it is called the Revolution: had they failed it would have been called rebellion; and the parties principally concerned would have been put to death. |

10 At that time [06256] the servants [05650] of Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came up [05927] against Jerusalem [03389], and the city [05892] was besieged [0935] [04692].
