Gill's Notes on the Bible
And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which [are] in Babylon,.... A form of cursing; when they cursed anyone, or wished him ill, it should be in such like manner as follows; so odious and detestable would these men be afterwards to them, whom they, at least some of them, took to be the prophets of the Lord:
saying, the Lord make thee like Zedekiah, and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; or "burnt them" d; not at once, but with a slow fire; so the Maccabees were roasted,
"Then the king, being in a rage, commanded pans and caldrons to be made hot: '' (2 Maccabees. 7:3)
Burning persons with fire, and casting them into a fiery furnace, were ways used by the Chaldeans in putting persons to death, Daniel 3:6; and roasting men at a fire was used by the Chinese e.
d קלם "combussit", Pagninus; "ustulavit", Munster; so Ben Melech says the word signifies "burning". e Martin Hist. Sinic. p. 257.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A curse - There is a play here of words. which probably was the cause why the death of these men passed into a proverb. One of them was named ben-Kolaiah; and they are to be made a curse (קללה qelâlâh), because Nebuchadnezzar had roasted (קלה qâlâh) them. Compare the marginal reference note.
