2 Kings 25:10 - Exposition

And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about. A complete demolition is not intended. When the exiles returned, and even in the time of Nehemiah 2:13 , Nehemiah 2:15 , much of the wall was still standing, and the circuit was easily traced. Probably the Babylonians did not do more than break one or two large breaches in the wall, as Joash had done ( 2 Kings 14:13 ) when he took Jerusalem in the reign of Amaziah.
