Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah,.... After he had seen his children and princes executed, which must be very terrible to him;
:-;
and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon; in Jeremiah 39:7; it is said, he bound him, "to carry him" there; here it is affirmed he did carry him thither: and it is added,
and put him in prison till the day of his death; from this place only we learn that King Zedekiah was put into a prison, and died a prisoner.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Put him in prison ... - Not found in 2 Kings, for in the contemporaneous history what befell Zedekiah at Riblah would alone be known. It was no doubt added by the same hand which inserted the account of the deportations to Babylon.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 52:11. He put out the eyes of Zedekiah — Jeremiah 39:7.
