Gill's Notes on the Bible
Zedekiah [was] one and twenty years old when he began to reign,.... Whose name was Mattaniah; and who was set on the throne by the king of Babylon, in the room of his brother's son Jehoiachin,
2 Kings 24:17;
and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; so that he was thirty two years of age when he was taken and carried captive into Babylon:
and his mother's name [was] Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah; see 2 Kings 24:18.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeremiah 52:0 is an historical appendix to the Book of Jeremiah, giving details of the capture of Babylon additional to those contained in Jeremiah 39:0: The last words of the foregoing chapter affirm that Jeremiah was not the author, and the view adopted by most commentators is, that this chapter is taken from the 2nd Book of Kings, but that the person who added it here had access to other valuable documents, and made several modifications in it, the principal being the substituation of the account of those led captive by Nebuchadnezzar Jeremiah 52:28-30, for the narrative given in 2 Kings 25:22-26, where see the notes.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER LII
This chapter was added after Jeremiah's time probably by Ezra,
after the return from the captivity, of which it gives a short
account, nearly the same as in Jeremiah 52:2; Jeremiah 24:18-20; Jeremiah 25:1-30.
It is very properly subjoined to the preceding prophecies, in
order to show how exactly they were fulfilled. It likewise
forms a proper introduction to the following Lamentations, as
it gives an account of the mournful events which gave rise to
them. Zedekiah's evil reign and rebellion against
Nebuchadnezzar, 1-3.
Jerusalem is taken by the Chaldeans after a siege of eighteen
months, 4-7.
Zedekiah pursued and taken in the plains of Jericho, and his
whole army dispersed, 8, 9.
The king's sons and all the princes of Judah slain in Riblah,
10.
Zedekiah has his eyes put out by order of the Chaldean monarch;
and is afterward bound in chains, carried to Babylon, and
imprisoned for life, 11.
Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard, burns and spoils the
city and temple, 12-19.
The two pillars of the temple, with their dimensions and
ornaments, 20-23.
The officers of the temple, and several others, carried away
captives into Babylon, and then slain by order of
Nebuchadnezzar, 24-27.
The number of Jews that Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive in
the seventh year of his reign, 28;
in his eighteenth year, 29;
and in his twenty-third year, 30.
Evil-merodach, the son of Nebuchadnezzar, in the year of his
accession to the throne of Babylon, (which was in the
thirty-seventh year of the captivity, and the one hundred and
ninety-first from the building of Rome, according to the
computation of Varro,) orders Jehoiachin to be taken out of
prison, and treats him kindly for the remainder of his life,
31-34.
