What Does 2 Kings 24:15 Mean?
The king himself is led away. Jehoiachin, his mother, his wives, his officials, and the leading men of the land are all carried from Jerusalem to Babylon. The royal house that once ruled in the city of David is now a household of exiles.
The road into captivity is a heavy one, and yet it is not the end of the story for this king or his line. The promise made to David endures beneath the rubble of defeat. Through this very family, preserved even in exile, the King of kings would one day come, and the throne would be established forever.
