God's Inescapable Judgment
Commentators like John Calvin emphasize that Zedekiah's capture was not a matter of bad luck but a direct act of God. His escape attempt was futile because God had already decreed the outcome, making His word of judgment inescapable. This event serves as a stark reminder that God's warnings are as certain as His promises, and no one can ultimately flee from His sovereign will.
