2 Re 24:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 24:15

And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon
Where he continued at least thirty seven years, ( 2 Kings 25:27 )

and the king's mother;
whose name was Nehushta, ( 2 Kings 24:8 )

and the king's wives;
for though he was so young, it seems he had many wives, as was the custom of those times; or his "women", who were either his concubines, or servants in his family:

and his officers;
in his court: and the mighty of the land; the princes and nobles thereof; or "the fools of the land", as the word is written; so the people generally were:

those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon;
which, according to Bunting F19, were six hundred and eighty miles distant from each other.

2 Re 24:15 In-Context

13 E trasse di Gerusalemme tutti i tesori della Casa del Signore, e i tesori della casa del re, e spezzò tutti i vasellamenti d’oro, che Salomone re d’Israele, avea fatti nel Tempio del Signore; come il Signore ne avea parlato.
14 E menò in cattività tutta Gerusalemme, e tutti i principi, e tutti gli uomini di valore, in numero di diecimila prigioni, insieme con tutti i legnaiuoli e ferraiuoli; non vi rimase se non il popolo povero del paese.
15 Così ne menò in cattività in Babilonia Gioiachin, e la madre del re, e le mogli del re, e i suoi eunuchi, e tutti i più possenti del paese;
16 insieme con tutti gli uomini di valore, ch’erano in numero di settemila; ed i legnaiuoli e ferraiuoli, ch’erano mille; tutti uomini valenti, e guerrieri; e il re di Babilonia li menò in cattività in Babilonia.
17 E IL re di Babilonia costituì re, in luogo di Gioiachin, Mattania, zio di esso, e gli mutò il nome in Sedechia.
