Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes.--The special form of punishment is noticeable as fulfilling the two prophecies--(1) that Zedekiah should see the king of Babylon and be taken to that city (Jeremiah 32:4); and (2) that though he was to die in Babylon, he should never see it (Ezekiel 12:13). Beyond this, the fate of the last king of Judah is buried in darkness. His brother Jehoiachin was already a prisoner in Babylon (2Kings 24:15), but we do not know whether the two were allowed to meet. Twenty-six years later Jehoiachin was released by Evil-merodach (2Kings 25:27); but there is no mention of Zedekiah, and it is a natural inference that his sufferings had ended previously.Bound him with chains.--Literally, as in the margin, with two brazen chains.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThen he put outעִוֵּ֑ר (‘iw·wêr)Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5786: To make blind, blindZedekiah’sצִדְקִיָּ֖הוּ (ṣiḏ·qî·yā·hū)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 6667: Zedekiah -- 'Yah is righteousness', six Israeliteseyesעֵינֵ֥י (‘ê·nê)Noun - cdcStrong's 5869: An eye, a fountainand bound himוַיַּאַסְרֵ֙הוּ֙ (way·ya·’as·rê·hū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine singularStrong's 631: To yoke, hitch, to fasten, to join battlewith bronze chainsבַּֽנְחֻשְׁתַּ֔יִם (ban·ḥuš·ta·yim)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - fdStrong's 5178: Copper, something made of that metal, coin, a fetter, baseto takeלָבִ֥יא (lā·ḇî)Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive constructStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gohimאֹת֖וֹ (’ō·ṯōw)Direct object marker | third person masculine singularStrong's 853: Untranslatable mark of the accusative caseto Babylon.בָּבֶֽלָה׃ (bā·ḇe·lāh)Noun - proper - feminine singular | third person feminine singularStrong's 894: Babylon -- an eastern Mediterranean empire and its capital cityJump to PreviousBabylon Bindeth Blinded Bound Brass Brazen Bronze Carry Chains Eyes Fetters Moreover Shackles Zedekiah Zedeki'ah Zedekiah's
