The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Kings 25:1-30

2 Kings 25:0 1. And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of that month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about. 2. And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. [The siege lasted one year, five months, and twenty-seven days.] 3. And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed [reached a climax] in the... read more

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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 25:1-21

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

B.—Fall of the Kingdom of Judah; Jehoiachin set at Liberty2 Kings 25:8-30. (Jeremiah 52:12-34.)8And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan,captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem: 9And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s [omit man’s7] house burnt he with fire. 10And all the army of the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 25:13-21

the Temple Despoiled 2 Kings 25:13-21 The Temple, after 420 years of varying fortune, was burned to the ground, and the remainder of its treasures carried off. A few years after, Nebuchadnezzar set up an image of gold on the plains of Dura, Daniel 3:1 . It has been suggested that this image was probably made from the metal removed from the Holy City; and this may have been an additional reason for the refusal of the Jews to worship as the king demanded. We have no information respecting the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 25:1-30

The rebellion was easily quelled, and Zedekiah was captured and taken to Babylon. His fate is tragic and awful. With eyes put out, and bound in fetters, he was carried to the court of his conqueror as the type and symbol of the people who had rebelled against God and been broken in pieces. A poor remnant still remained in the land over whom Gedaliah was appointed governor for a brief period. After his murder, the remnant fled to Egypt, and thus the nation called to peculiar position of honor,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 25:1-26

The Last Days Of Judah (2 Kings 23:31 to 2 Kings 25:26 ). As Huldah had forewarned the death of Josiah signalled the beginning of the end for Judah, and in fact within twenty five years of his death (in 609 BC) Jerusalem would be no more. Jehoahaz (nee Shallum), who succeeded him, only lasted three months before the inevitable Egyptian punitive invasion consequent on Josiah’s precipitate action resulted in his being taken into exile in Egypt, to be replaced by his brother Eliakim, who was... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 25:8-22

3). The Final Destruction Of Jerusalem And The Death Of Its Leaders (2 Kings 25:8-22 ). Kings began with a description of the building of the house of YHWH and of the king’s house (1 Kings 5:1 to 1 Kings 7:12), and of the making of the pillars of bronze and the brazen sea (1 Kings 5:13 onwards), and it now ends with a description of their destruction, along with all the larger houses in Jerusalem. And it all occurred because they had incurred the wrath of YHWH. The continual downward slide to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 25:8-26

2 Kings 25:8-Ezekiel : . Destruction of Jerusalem. Fate of the Remnant.— This again is more fully related in Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 39:8 to Jeremiah 42:22), of which the passage before us is probably an abridgement. 2 Kings 25:8 . Nebuzar-adan treated Jeremiah with marked favour ( Jeremiah 40:8). 2 Kings 25:22 . Gedaliah established himself at Mizpah in Benjamin ( Joshua 8:26). His murder by Ishmael was the ruin of the remnant, which escaped to Egypt, taking Jeremiah with them (p. 73). read more
