"Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him." — Jeremiah 52:9 (ASV)
Then they took the king
King Zedekiah, being left alone, excepting some few with him: and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of
Hamath ;
which is supposed to be Antioch in Syria: where he gave judgment upon him ;
or "spoke with him judgments" F18 : chided and reproached him for his perfidy and ingratitude; expostulated and reasoned with him upon this subject, exposing his iniquity; and then passed sentence upon him, which was after executed; (See Gill on Jeremiah 39:5).
