What Does 2 Kings 25:11 Mean?
Those who remain in the ruined city, along with those who had earlier deserted to Babylon and the rest of the survivors, are gathered up and led into captivity. The people of God are marched away from the land of promise into a foreign country.
Exile is the great sorrow of this chapter, and it would shape Israel's memory for generations. Yet the prophets had already promised that the Lord would be a sanctuary to His people in the lands where they were scattered. Even in Babylon, God would not abandon them, and from that exile He would one day call them home.
