Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Kings 25:15

(15) Firepans.—See 1 Kings 7:50. Besides “firepans” and “bowls” five other sorts of vessel are given in Jeremiah 52:19.Such things as were . . . silver.—A general expression intended to include all other objects of the same material as the two kinds mentioned. The verse treats of the utensils of the holy place. Many such had doubtless been carefully concealed by the priests on the occasion of the first plundering of the Temple (2 Kings 24:13). (Comp. Jeremiah 27:19 seq.) read more

3. The Siege of Jerusalem and Judah’s Complete Overthrow CHAPTER 25 1. The last siege and complete overthrow (2 Kings 25:1-21 ; 2 Chronicles 36:17-20 ) 2. Gedaliah (2 Kings 25:22-26 ) 3. Jehoiachin’s captivity and release (2 Kings 25:27-30 ) Zedekiah’s rebellion was a great offence. He had sworn in Jehovah’s name to be loyal to Nebuchadnezzar (2 Chronicles 36:13 ; Ezekiel 17:13 ). We find more light thrown upon this king and his rebellion in the book of Jeremiah. Ambassadors from Edom,... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 25:1-30

THE TOTAL CAPTIVITY OF JUDAH (vv.1-21) In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign Nebuchadnezzar came and besieged Jerusalem, building a wall around it. Jeremiah told Zedekiah, by the word of the Lord, that if he would surrender to the king of Babylon, he would live and the city would not be burned with fire, but if he would not surrender the city would be burned and he (Zedekiah) would not escape (Jeremiah 38:17-18), but because of Zedekiah's fear of the Jews he would not surrender. The siege... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 25:1-30

THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY THE LAST OF THE KINGS (2 Kings 24:0 ) In the previous lesson we left Judah tributary to Egypt, which had been victorious at Megiddo. This lasted five years, when Babylon, now master of her old-time enemy Assyria, and eager to cross swords with Egypt for world-supremacy, came up against her, and compelled allegiance. After three years Jehoiakim revolted (2 Kings 24:1 ), and for the remainder of his reign was harassed by bands of enemies (2 Kings 24:2 ) perhaps... read more

And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. [The siege lasted one year, five months, and twenty-seven days.] 3.

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 25:11-21

Here we have the final account of Judah as a kingdom. So that from Joshua's days, in which it began to be formed, to the last of its kings, Zedeciah, it stood about 850 or 860 years. And the church's history now begins from the Babylonish captivity. Daniel and Ezekiel were the two prophets, whose ministry was exercised in Babylon during the 70 years which the Lord had determined for its desolation. See Jer_25:8-13; Jer_29:10-14 . See also Isaiah 23:15 read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 25:8-21

8-21 The city and temple were burnt, and, it is probable, the ark in it. By this, God showed how little he cares for the outward pomp of his worship, when the life and power of religion are neglected. The walls of Jerusalem were thrown down, and the people carried captive to Babylon. The vessels of the temple were carried away. When the things signified were sinned away, what should the signs stand there for? It was righteous with God to deprive those of the benefit of his worship, who had... read more

Judah Carried into Captivity v. 1. And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, when Zedekiah had rebelled against the Babylonian supremacy, that Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came, he and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, encamped round about it; and they built forts against it round about, bulwarks with watch-towers, such as were used in besieging a city. Although Nebuchadnezzar was not present in person,... read more
