Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then came certain, of the elders of Israel unto me,.... The Syriac version adds, "to consult the Lord"; by the prophet. These, according to Kimchi, were the elders of the captivity, the heads of the captives that were now in Babylon with Ezekiel: but there are others that think they were some that came from Jerusalem to Babylon on some business or another; and having heard much of the prophet, came to visit him, and to hear his prophecies, and inquire of the Lord by him:

him, while they loved and practised idolatry, 1-11.

wild beasts, 15, 16;
the sword, 17, 18;
and pestilence, 19-21.
A remnant shall be delivered from the wrath coming upon the
whole land, 22, 23.
