2 Kings 25:11 - Exposition

Now the rest of the people that were left in the city — i.e; that remained behind when the king and the garrison fled— and the fugitives that fen away to the King of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude; rather, both the fugitives that had fallen away to the King of Babylon , and the remnant of the multitude , The writer means to divide "the rest of the people" into two classes:

(1) those who during the siege, or before it, had deserted to the Babylonians, as no doubt many did, and as Jeremiah was accused of doing ( Jeremiah 37:13 );

(2) those who were found inside the city when it was taken . Did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
