Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) The sons of Zedekiah.--The history of Eastern monarchies presents us with many examples of this refinement of cruelty, notably in the case of (Eobazus under Darius (Herod. Iv. 84), and Pythius under Xerxes (Herod, vii. 39). The slaughter of the "nobles" probably included most of those whom we have seen in Jeremiah 36:12, and elsewhere.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThere at Riblahבְּרִבְלָ֖ה (bə·riḇ·lāh)Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 7247: Riblah -- a city in Hamath, also one on southeast border of Israelthe kingמֶ֨לֶךְ (me·leḵ)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4428: A kingof Babylonבָּבֶ֜ל (bā·ḇel)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 894: Babylon -- an eastern Mediterranean empire and its capital cityslaughteredוַיִּשְׁחַט֩ (way·yiš·ḥaṭ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7819: To slaughter, beatthe sonsבְּנֵ֧י (bə·nê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1121: A sonof Zedekiahצִדְקִיָּ֛הוּ (ṣiḏ·qî·yā·hū)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 6667: Zedekiah -- 'Yah is righteousness', six Israelitesbefore his eyes,לְעֵינָ֑יו (lə·‘ê·nāw)Preposition-l | Noun - cdc | third person masculine singularStrong's 5869: An eye, a fountainand heמֶ֥לֶךְ (me·leḵ)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4428: A kingalso killedשָׁחַ֖ט (šā·ḥaṭ)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7819: To slaughter, beatallכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe noblesחֹרֵ֣י (ḥō·rê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 2715: White, pure, nobleof Judah.יְהוּדָ֔ה (yə·hū·ḏāh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3063: Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four IsraelitesJump to PreviousBabylon Death Eyes Freemen Great Judah Killed Nobles Riblah Slaughtered Slaughtereth Slew Zedekiah Zedeki'ah
