Another great eagle. Hophra, of Egypt, also called Apries (verse 15; cf. Jeremiah 44:30).

Toward him. Although Zedekiah had sworn allegiance to Babylon (2 Chronicles 36:13; cf. Ezekiel 17:14), he treacherously sought the aid of Egypt. Jeremiah endeavored to dissuade Zedekiah from this Egyptian alliance (Jeremiah 37:7).
