Read 2 Kings 24.18-25.21. In 24.18-25.21: The reign of Zedekiah and the fall of Jerusalem. This section is very similar to Jer 52, and the first part of it to Jer 39.1-10. In 24.20: Here the Exile is blamed mostly on Zedekiah and his generation. 25.2-3: The city of Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians in 587 or 586 BCE. In verse 4: The Arabah means the Jordan valley north of the Dead Sea. In verse 11: Jeremiah 52.29 gives the number of captives from this deportation as 832. In verses 13-17: On the items taken from the temple, see 1 Kings 7.15-20; Jer 52.17-23. In verses 18-21: The other leaders of the city who were considered responsible for fostering the rebellion were executed. Comments or Questions..
