Commentary on 2 Kings 25:9

Theological / Devotional

Burnt the house. This act brought an end to Solomon’s Temple. In addition to the Temple, the palace and many other important structures in Jerusalem were put to the torch. The city was left a place of ruin and desolation — a striking exhibit of the destruction that sin brings in its wake. The conflagration did not come without warning (Jer. 21:10 ; 32:29; 34:2; 37:8, 10; 38:18, 23).
