Jeremiah 52:10 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:10

And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his
eyes
Or, however, ordered them to be slain; (See Gill on Jeremiah 39:6); he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah;
who, together with the king's sons, were taken with him; or, however, were taken in Jerusalem, and brought to Riblah; which of them is not certain, very probably the former.
