Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 36:17

"Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, old man or hoary-headed: he gave them all into his hand." — 2 Chronicles 36:17 (ASV)

Therefore he brought up. — And He caused to come up; alluding to “the wrath... went up.”

In the house of their sanctuary. — Which they had polluted (2 Chronicles 36:14). The scene of their sin witnessed their destruction.

Him that stooped for age. — Rather, greyheaded, hoary (yâshçsh). (Compare Ezekiel 9:0, where the horrors of the capture of Jerusalem are ascribed expressly to the Divine working; Deuteronomy 32:25.)

He gave them all into his hand. — Compare Jeremiah 37:6; Jeremiah 32:3–4.

Them all. — Literally, the whole, everything, τά πάντα. “Them all” would be hullâm, whereas the text is hakkôl. (So 2 Chronicles 36:18, “all these.”) Jerusalem was taken 588 B.C.
