Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 25:22
Verse 22. Made Gedaliah-ruler.] This was no regal dignity; he was only a sort of hind or overseer, appointed to regulate the husbandmen.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22-24. And as for the people that remained , etc.] That were left in the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen; over these the king of Babylon made Gedaliah governor, to whom the captains, with their scattered troops, came, and submitted for a time; of whom, (see Gill on “ Jeremiah 40:7-9”).

Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-30 - The king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah to be the governor and protecto of the Jews left their land. But the things of their peace were s hidden from their eyes, that they knew not when they were well off Ishmael basely slew him and all his friends, and, against the counse of Jeremiah, the rest went to Egypt. Thus was a full end made of the by their own folly and disobedience; see Jeremiah chap. 40 to 4 Jehoiachin was released out of prison, where he had been kept 37 years Let none say that they shall never see good again, because they have long seen little but evil: the most miserable know not what tur Providence may yet give to their affairs, nor what comforts they ar reserved for, according to the days wherein they have been afflicted Even in this world the Saviour brings a release from bondage to the distressed sinner who seeks him, bestowing foretastes of the pleasure which are at his right hand for evermore. Sin alone can hurt us; Jesu alone can do good to sinners __________________________________________________________________
