This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the people, and such - rather, explanatory, “the people,” namely, “such as are left.”
seek their life - content with nothing short of their death; not content with plundering and enslaving them.
smite with ... sword - This was the fate of Zedekiah’s sons and many of the Jewish nobles. Zedekiah himself, though not put to a violent death, died of grief. Compare as to the accurate fulfillment, Jer 34:4; Eze 12:13; 2Ki 25:6, 2Ki 25:7.
