Jeremías 39:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 39:6

Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah
before his eyes
Not with his own hands, but gave orders to do it: these must be very young, at least some of them; since Zedekiah at this time was but thirty two years of age. This must be a dreadful spectacle for him to behold; and the consideration must be cutting, that it was owing to his own obstinacy in not taking the advice of the Prophet Jeremiah to surrender to the Chaldeans, whereby he and his family would have been saved, ( Jeremiah 38:17 ) ; also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah;
who did not come over to the Chaldean army and surrender themselves; such who advised the king to stand out to the last, and who fled, and were taken with him; as many of them as fell into the hands of the king of Babylon. Jarchi says those were the sanhedrim, who loosed Zedekiah from his oath to Nebuchadnezzar.

Jeremías 39:6 In-Context

4 Cuando el rey Sedequías y todos los soldados vieron que los babilonios habían invadido la ciudad, huyeron. Esperaron hasta la caída del sol y entonces se deslizaron por la puerta que está entre las dos murallas, detrás del jardín real, y se dirigieron al valle del Jordán.
5 Sin embargo, las tropas babilĂłnicas
persiguieron al rey y lo capturaron en las llanuras de JericĂł. Entonces lo llevaron ante el rey Nabucodonosor de Babilonia, que se encontraba en Ribla, en la tierra de Hamat. AllĂ­ el rey de Babilonia dictĂł sentencia contra SedequĂ­as.
6 Hizo que Sedequías presenciara la masacre de sus hijos y de todos los nobles de Judá.
7 Luego le sacaron los ojos, lo ataron con cadenas de bronce y lo llevaron a Babilonia.
8 Mientras tanto, los babilonios quemaron Jerusalén, incluido el palacio, y derribaron las murallas de la ciudad.
