A Precisely Fulfilled Prophecy
Commentators unanimously highlight the precise historical fulfillment of this prophecy. As recorded in 2 Kings 25 and Jeremiah 52, the leaders of Judah were captured and taken to Riblah, on the northern 'border of Israel,' where the king of Babylon executed judgment upon them. This demonstrates that God's warnings are not vague threats but specific declarations that will come to pass.
