This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That the kingdom might be base - that is, low as to national elevation by being Nebuchadnezzar’s dependent; but, at the same time, safe and prosperous, if faithful to the “oath.” Nebuchadnezzar dealt sincerely and openly in proposing conditions, and these moderate ones; therefore Zedekiah’s treachery was the baser and was a counterpart to their treachery towards God.
