This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_25:12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land [to be] vinedressers and husbandmen.
Ver. 12. Left of the poor of the land.] Who would be rather a burden than a benefit to the Chaldees; fruges consmere nati; but in Jewry might do some service. De populo tenuissimos, quibus nihil erat quicquam, reliquit. And yet of these poor ones also; about four or five years after this, were carried away seven hundred and forty-five persons; that so the land might enjoy her Sabbath. {2Ch_36:20-21 Jer_52:30} And here ended those before prophesied three hundred and ninety years of Israel’s iniquity; and those forty years of Judah’s. {Eze_4:5-6}
