Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 37:2

"But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of Jehovah, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah." — Jeremiah 37:2 (ASV)

But neither he, nor his servants ... —The verse gives a general survey of the character of Zedekiah’s reign in preparation for the actual history that follows, which occurs towards its end, probably in the seventh or eighth year of his reign. It should be noted that the “servants” here, as in Jeremiah 36:24, are the personal attendants of the king, his courtiers, as distinct from the “princes” of Judah and the “people of the land,” that is, the great body of unofficial laymen.
