Notes

carried away to Babylon the remnant of the people: They usually tied each person's hands and connected them to the person in front, forming a long line of sad captives.

As Jeremiah had predicted (Jeremiah 34:1–7), the Lord judged Zedekiah and the kingdom of Judah. For more details on this event, see Jeremiah 52:4–16; 2 Kings 25:1–21; 2 Chronicles 36:11–21; Ezekiel 24:1–14.
