They fled by the gate betwixt the two walls Betwixt the wall and the outworks, or betwixt the old wall of the city and the new one which Hezekiah built, of which mention is made 2 Chronicles 32:5.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 39:1-18

The fall of Jerusalem (39:1-18)After eighteen months of siege, the Babylonian armies finally broke through the walls of Jerusalem (39:1-2). Zedekiah tried to escape by night, but was quickly captured and brought face to face with the king of Babylon, as Jeremiah foretold. Although he was not executed, Zedekiah suffered cruel treatment before being taken captive to Babylon (3-7; cf. 34:2-3).

Jeremiah 39:5. To Riblah in the land of Hamath— Most interpreters suppose this city to be the same which was called Antioch in after-times, when it was taken by Seleucus: in this sense the Jerusalem Targum upon Numbers 34:0 understands the words. See Lowth and Calmet. read more

The Chaldean soldiers spotted Zedekiah fleeing and finally caught up with him in the plains near Jericho.

Riblah stood about 50 miles south of Hamath and 65 miles north of Damascus. There Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on his rebellious vassal. Nebuchadnezzar evidently did not personally participate in... read more
