God's Hand in Exile
Commentators explain a dual reality: while wicked leaders scattered the people through their sin, God Himself "drove them" into exile as a just punishment. John Calvin notes that God uses the wicked to accomplish His purposes, yet they remain fully responsible for their actions. This reveals God's sovereignty over history, bringing about both judgment and, ultimately, restoration for His people.
