Context of Jeremiah 52:10

8But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. 9Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10He also killed all the officials of Judah at Riblah: This adds to the story in 2 Kings 25:7. While the soldiers abandoned Zedekiah as they fled to Jericho (Jeremiah 52:8), the officials stayed with him.Read the comment
