Notes

2 Kings 25:11–12

The Babylonians exiled most of the population, including some who willingly joined them (Jeremiah 39:9; 52:15).
They left the poorest people behind because they were unlikely to cause trouble and could work the vineyards and fields.

2 Kings 24:1–25:21

Nebuchadnezzar II attacked Judah at least three times, in 605 BC, 597 BC, and 586 BC.
