This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In the disguise this fugitive might possibly escape from the net of Nebuchadnezzar, and of his captains. But, poor Zedekiah, dost thou not at last see that the Babylonians are employed of God, and that God will bring thee into his own and into Nebuchadnezzar’s net.
Will I spread upon him; in allusion to those that take birds or fish in nets, they spread it to its full extent, so will God spread his net that it shall cover Zedekiah and his followers.
He shall be taken; mentioned as the principal, though he was not taken alone, many were taken with him.
I will bring him; the Chaldeans carried him, and God brought him to Babylon, so second causes co-work with the first.
To Babylon; which was the metropolis of the kingdom.
The land of the Chaldeans; that strange land where they were captives whom God sent before, and whither obstinate Jerusalemites must now go.
Yet shall he not see it; neither the land nor the city, though he shall spend the rest of his days there, and there die, but the Babylonish tyrant will put out his eyes at Riblah, 2Ki_25:6 Jer_39:5.
