Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah
After he had seen his children and princes executed, which must be very terrible to him; (See Gill on Jeremiah 39:7); and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to
Babylon;
in ( Jeremiah 39:7 ) ; it is said, he bound him, "to carry him" there; here it is affirmed he did carry him thither: and it is added, and put him in prison till the day of his death;
from this place only we learn that King Zedekiah was put into a prison, and died a prisoner.
