Commentary on 2 Kings 24:15

Theological / Devotional

Carried away. In fulfillment of the prophecies of Isaiah (2 Kings 20:18; Isa. 39:7), and Jeremiah (Jer. 22:24-30).

The king’s mother. That she is mentioned first after the king, even before his wives, is indicative of her high rank.

The king’s wives. Evidence that the king must have been more than “eight” years of age (see on v. 8).

The mighty. The chief civil and ecclesiastical functionaries — the princes, eunuchs, nobles, courtiers, elders, priests, prophets, and Levites (see Jer. 29:1, 2).
