SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:14
Y llevó cautivos a toda Jerusalén, a todos los príncipes, y a todos los hombres valientes, diez mil cautivos; asimismo a todos los oficiales y herreros; que no quedó nadie, excepto los pobres del pueblo de la tierra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 24:14
Verse 14. He carried away all Jerusalem] That is, all the chief men, the nobles, and artificers. Among these there were of mighty men seven thousand; of craftsmen and smiths, one thousand.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And he carried away all Jerusalem , etc.] The inhabitants of it; not every individual of them, but the chief of them, the more honourable, rich, and useful; for the poorer sort were left, as afterwards expressed: and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives ; which was the number of them in the whole; the particulars are after delivered: and all the craftsmen and smiths ; besides the nobles and the soldiers, he took all the artificers that exercised any handicraft trade or business; carpenters and blacksmiths, as some interpret these two words; so that there were none left to make arms for them; the last word may be rendered “enclosers”, and are by some interpreted of enclosers of jewels in metals, as gold and silver: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land ; who were left to till it, and to dress the vines; (see 2 Kings 25:12).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-20 - Jehoiachin reigned but three months, yet long enough to show that he justly smarted for his fathers' sins, for he trod in their steps. Hi uncle was intrusted with the government. This Zedekiah was the last of the kings of Judah. Though the judgments of God upon the three king before him might have warned him, he did that which was evil, lik them. When those intrusted with the counsels of a nation act unwisely and against their true interest, we ought to notice the displeasure of God in it. It is for the sins of a people that God hides from them the things that belong to the public peace. And in fulfilling the secre purposes of his justice, the Lord needs only leave men to the blindnes of their own minds, or to the lusts of their own hearts. The gradua approach of Divine judgments affords sinners space for repentance, an believers leisure to prepare for meeting the calamity, while it show the obstinacy of those who will not forsake their sins __________________________________________________________________
