2 Kings 25:10

_AND ALL THE ARMY OF THE CHALDEES, THAT WERE WITH THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD, BRAKE DOWN THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM ROUND ABOUT._ No JFB commentary on these verses....

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 preferred false worships before it; those that would have many altars, now shall have none. As the Lord spared not the angels that sinned, as he doomed the whole race of fallen men to the grave, and all unbelievers to hell, and as he spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, we need not wonder at any miseries he may bring upon guilty nations, churches, or persons....

Verse 2 Kings 25:10. _BRAKE DOWN THE WALLS_] In the same _fifth month_, Jeremiah 1:3, the walls of Jerusalem being razed to the ground, all that were left in the city, and all that had fled over formerly to Nebuchadnezzar, and all the common people of the city, with all the king's treasures, those of the nobles, and the whole furniture of the temple, did Nebuzar-adan carry off to Babylon. See Jeremiah 39:8; Jeremiah 52:14; Jeremiah 52:23. And thus was Judah carried away out of her own land, _four hundred and sixty-eight_ years...

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 t

AND ALL THE ARMY... BRAKE DOWN THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM. We learn from Jeremiah, not only that the walls were leveled, but that the sepulchres of the kings were opened and the bodies thrown out to the vultures. Some of the great men were hung up on the ruined temple walls and others were carried to execution at Riblah. The spoils of the temple were carried away to Babylon....

(9) And he burned the house of the LORD and the house of the king and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house he burned with fire. (10) And all the army of the Chaldeans which was with the captain of the guard broke down the wall of Jerusalem round about. (11) And the rest of the people who remained in the city, both the deserters who had gone over to the king of Babylon and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan carried away. (12) But the captain of the guard left some of the poor of the land to cultivate vineyards and till the soil. (13) And the bronze pillars which were in the hou...
