A Textual Puzzle
Scholars note a likely textual issue in this verse. The phrase "of the poorest of the people" seems to contradict the next verse, which says the poor were left behind. Commentators like Barnes and Ellicott suggest this was a copyist's error, as it's also missing from the parallel account in 2 Kings 25:11.
