This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_24:14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, [even] ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
Ver. 14. And he carried away all Jerusalem,] i.e., The greater and better part of the people: among the rest, Mordecai the Benjamite the son of Jair, {Est_2:5-6} and Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, {Eze_1:2-3} who therefore calls it his "captivity" or deportation. {Eze_40:1}
And all the craftsmen and smiths.] The like craft useth the devil, when he endeavoureth to take out of the way such as are zealous and active, valiant for God’s truth, and violent for his kingdom. {a}
{a} A Lapide.
