JEREMIAH—NOTE ON Jeremiah 34:3 Zedekiah will lose the battle and his freedom. He will go to Babylon with many of his people (Jeremiah 21:7). 2 Kings 25:6 records the fulfillment of this prophecy. Zedekiah meets the king of Babylon eye to eye (in Riblah), his sons are slain, his eyes are put out, and he is led to Babylon. Nonetheless, God will allow Zedekiah to die in peace, for he is David’s descendant (see Jeremiah 52:11).
