2 Chronicles 36:17

Therefore he brought up. — And He caused to come up; alluding to “the wrath... went up.”

In the house of their sanctuary. — Which they had polluted (2 Chronicles 36:14). The scene of their sin witnessed their destruction.

Him that stooped for age. — Rather, greyheaded, hoary (yâshçsh). (Comp. Ezekiel 9, where the horrors of the capture of Jerusalem are ascribed expressly to the Divine working; see also Jeremiah 15:1; Deuteronomy 32:25.)

He gave them all into his hand. — Comp. Jeremiah 37:6; Jeremiah 32:3.

Them all. — Literally, the whole, everything, τά πάντα. “Them all” would be hullâm, whereas the text is hakkôl. (So 2 Chronicles 36:18, “all these.”) Jerusalem was taken 588 B.C.
