2 Kings 21:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 21:14

And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance
The whole land of Canaan was the Lord's inheritance; ten tribes in it were already removed, only Judah with Benjamin was left, and the Lord threatens to forsake that remnant:

and deliver them into the hands of their enemies, and they shall become
a prey and spoil to all their enemies;
which was fulfilled in their captivity in Babylon.

14 Whatever survives of my inheritance, I'll leave behind, handing them over to their enemies. They will be nothing but plunder and loot for every one of their enemies.
