Commentaries on 2 Kings 25:11

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11The fugitives … - It was from a fear of the treatment which he would receive at the hands of these deserters that Zedekiah persisted in defending the city to the last Jeremiah 38:19.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-21Verses 8-21 The city and temple were burnt, and, it is probable, the ark in it.
