Barnes' Notes on the Bible
So Judah was carried away - The kingdom of the two tribes was at an end; and the task of the historian might seem to be accomplished. He still, however, desires to notice two things:
(1) the fate of the remnant 2 Kings 25:22-26 left in the land by Nebuzaradan; and
(2) the fate of Johoiachin, who, of all those led into captivity, was the least to blame 2 Kings 25:27-30.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 25:21. The king of Babylon smote them — He had, no doubt, found that these had counselled Zedekiah to revolt.
