Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 32:1

"And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first [day] of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying," — Ezekiel 32:1 (ASV)

In the twelfth month - About one year and seven months after the destruction of Jerusalem. In the meantime, the murder of Gedaliah and the flight into Egypt of the Jews left behind by the Chaldeans had occurred (Jeremiah 41–43). Jeremiah, who had accompanied them, foretold their ruin (Jeremiah 44:0) in a prophecy probably contemporaneous with the present – the sixth against Egypt, delivered in the form of a dirge (Ezekiel 44:2–16).
