Contextual Overview

1Moreover, the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the house of Yahweh which faced eastward. And behold, at the entrance of the gate, there were twenty-five men, and I saw among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, officials of the people. 2He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise wickedness and give evil counsel in this city, 3who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This city is the pot, and we are the flesh.' 4Therefore, prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy!" 5Then the Spirit of Yahweh fell upon me, and He said to me, "Say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, "So you say, house of Israel, for I know what comes up in your spirit. 6You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with them." 7Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh, "Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of the city are the flesh, and this city is the pot; but I will bring you out of it. 8You have feared a sword; so a sword I will bring upon you," Lord Yahweh declares. 9"And I will bring you out of the midst of the city and give you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments against you. 10You will fall by the sword. I will judge you to the border of Israel; so you shall know that I am Yahweh.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ye have multiplied your slain in this city,.... Had killed many of the prophets of the Lord that had been sent unto them, and had shed much innocent blood; and not only had unjustly condemned many to die, and had put them to death without a cause; but also the death of all those that were slain while the city was besieging, and when it was taken, were owing to their advice and counsel, in encouraging them to hold out, and not deliver up the city; fancying they should be able to defend it, contrary to the declarations of the Lord by the prophet; wherefore their death is laid to such advisers, and they are called their slain:

and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain; such numbers of innocent persons being put to death, as in the times of Manasseh,

2 Kings 21:16; or so many dying of the famine, pestilence, and sword, during the siege, and at the taking of Jerusalem.
