Contextual Overview

1 Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and eleven years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, - and, his mother's name, was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 2 And he did that which was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, - according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 3 For it was, because the anger of Yahweh, had come against Jerusalem and Judah until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. 4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, - and he built against it a siege-wall round about. 5 And the city came into the siege, - until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 6 In the fourth month on the ninth of the month, when the famine had become severe in the city, - and there had come to be no bread for the people of the land, 7 then was the city broken up, and all the men of war, beginning to flee went forth out of the city by night, by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the garden of the king the Chaldeans being near the city round about, - and they went the way towards the Waste Plain. 8 And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah, in the Waste Plains of Jericho, - and, all his force, was scattered from him. 9 So they seized the king, and brought him up, unto the king of Babylon at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, - and he pronounced upon him sentences of judgment. 10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, - moreover also all the princes of Judah, slew he in Riblah;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes,.... Or, however, ordered them to be slain;

:-;

he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah; who, together with the king's sons, were taken with him; or, however, were taken in Jerusalem, and brought to Riblah; which of them is not certain, very probably the former.
