The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

Verse Takeaways

Matthew Henry's commentary highlights a crucial lesson from Zedekiah's fate: there is no escaping the judgments of God. His attempt to flee was in vain. This serves as a solemn reminder that sin has consequences, and while God is merciful, His righteous judgments will ultimately overtake those who persist in rebellion against Him.
