Commentary

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:10

Theological / Devotional

When the year was expired. Literally, “at the return of the year” (see on 1 Kings 20:22). This was Nisan, the spring New Year, “the time when kings go forth to battle” (2 Sam. 11:1).

Brought him to Babylon. See 2 Kings 24:10-16 for a fuller account of the siege and the deportation to Babylon.

The goodly vessels. Some of these had already been taken to Babylon in the campaign of the third year of Jehoiakim (Dan. 1:1,2).

Zedekiah his brother. “Brother” here is equivalent to “kinsman” (see on 1 Chron. 2:7), since Zedekiah was the uncle of Jehoiachin (2 Kings 24:17) and a son of Josiah (1 Chron. 3:15).
