This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_25:1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
Ver. 1. In the tenth month, the tenth day of the month.] This was revealed to Ezekiel in Babylon. {Eze_24:1} And although this day of the tenth month was by the law appointed for a day of expiation or atonement, {Lev_16:29-31} yet now "an end was come, the end was come, it watched against them, behold, it was come, an evil, an only evil was come, was come," as Ezekiel hath it. {Eze_7:5-6} This the poor captives afterward bewailed in their anniversary fast on this day kept. {Zec_8:19}
And they built forts against it round about.] Of the greatness of this army environing so great a city, see Jer_34:1.
