Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 25:1

2 Kings 25:1. Nebuchadnezzar came, and all his host, against Jerusalem To chastise Zedekiah for his rebellion and perjury: for, contrary to the solemn oath he had taken, he had been contriving and endeavoring to revolt from the king of Babylon, and shake off his yoke.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 25:1-21

The destruction of Jerusalem (24:18-25:21)All Judah’s most capable administrators had been taken captive to Babylon. The few advisers who were left to Zedekiah had no true understanding of the situation, either political or religious, and persuaded the weak king to seek Egypt’s help in rebelling against Babylon. This was a policy that Jeremiah clearly saw was disastrous, for it would lead only to the horrors of siege and destruction. His advice was that Judah accept its fate as God’s will and... read more

1. Nebuchadnezzar . . . came . . . against Jerusalem—Incensed by the revolt of Zedekiah, the Assyrian despot determined to put an end to the perfidious and inconstant monarchy of Judea. This chapter narrates his third and last invasion, which he conducted in person at the head of an immense army, levied out of all the tributary nations under his sway.
