Commentary
Commentary on 2 Kings 24:7
Theological / DevotionalCame not again. In the battles at Carchemish and near Hamath the Egyptians had been decisively beaten in 605 B.C. by Nebuchadnezzar, who then came into possession of Palestine. The Egyptians had inflicted heavy losses on Nebuchadnezzar’s army in 601 B.C., but after that they seem to have been unable to challenge seriously his control over Palestine.
From the river of Egypt. As early as Thutmose I (see Vol. I, p. 145), Egypt had conquered Palestine and Syria as far as the Euphrates River. She was not always in undisputed possession of that area, but during the reign of Necho (610–595), she again endeavored to bring that territory under control. The “river of Egypt” is probably the Wadi el–‘Arīsh (see on 1 Kings 8:65).
