What Does 2 Kings 25:20 Mean?

The gathered captives, priests, officials, and citizens, are led north to Riblah, the same headquarters where Zedekiah had been sentenced. They are brought before Nebuchadnezzar to receive his judgment.

The long road to Riblah is the road of exile in miniature, the leaders of Judah marched away to stand before a foreign king. Earthly powers summon and sentence, yet they are never the final court. Above every throne sits the Lord, before whom all nations are gathered, and whose verdicts alone are everlasting.
