THE MESSAGE
The Babylonians captured Zedekiah and marched him off to the king of Babylon at Riblah in Hamath, who tried and sentenced him on the spot. The king of Babylon then killed Zedekiah's sons right before his eyes. The summary murder of his sons was the last thing Zedekiah saw, for they then blinded him. The king of Babylon followed that up by killing all the officials of Judah. Securely handcuffed, Zedekiah was hauled off to Babylon. The king of Babylon threw him in prison, where he stayed until the day he died.

Then they took the king,.... King Zedekiah, being left alone, excepting some few with him:
and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; which is supposed to be Antioch in Syria:
where he gave judgment upon him; or "spake with him judgments" r: chided and reproached him for his perfidy and ingratitude; expostulated and reasoned with him upon this subject, exposing his iniquity; and then passed sentence upon him, which was after executed;
