Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Ante sus ojos - Este refinamiento de la crueldad parece haber conmocionado especialmente a los judíos, cuyos modales eran menos bárbaros que los de la mayoría de los orientales. Jeremías lo observa en dos lugares Jeremias 39:6; Jeremias 52:1.

Y saca los ojos de Sedequías - El cegamiento siempre ha estado entre los castigos secundarios más comunes en el Este (compara Jueces 16:2 l) . El cegamiento de Sedequías reconcilió de una manera muy notable las profecías, aparentemente contradictorias, que se habían hecho sobre él. Jeremías había profetizado claramente que sería llevado a Babilonia Jeremias 32:5; Jeremias 34:3. Ezequiel había dicho que no debía "ver Babilonia" Ezequiel 12:13. Su privación de la vista antes de ser llevado a la capital del conquistador cumplió las predicciones de ambos profetas.

Con grilletes de latón - literalmente, (ver margen Jeremias 39:7), "con dos cadenas de latón". Los cautivos de los asirios generalmente se representan como manos y pies atados: las dos manos aseguradas por una cadena, los dos pies por otra. Según la tradición judía, Sedequías fue, como otros esclavos, obligado a trabajar en un molino en Babilonia. Jeremías nos dice que lo mantuvieron en prisión hasta que murió Jeremias 52:11.
