Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

52:1-11 This fruit of sin we should pray against above any thing; Cast me not away from thy presence, Ps 51:11. None are cast out of God's presence but those who by sin have first thrown themselves out. Zedekiah's flight was in vain, for there is no escaping the judgments of God; they come upon the sinner, and overtake him, let him flee where he will.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 9. - Gave judgment (see on Jeremiah 1:16).

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Then they took the king,.... King Zedekiah, being left alone, excepting some few with him:

and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; which is supposed to be Antioch in Syria:

where he gave judgment upon him; or "spake with him judgments" (r): chided and reproached him for his perfidy and ingratitude; expostulated and reasoned with him upon this subject, exposing his iniquity; and then passed sentence upon him, which was after executed; See Gill on Jeremiah 39:5.

(r) "qui cum eo locutus est judicia", Schmidt. So Cocceius.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

9. gave judgment upon him—as guilty of rebellion and perjury (Jer 52:3; compare Eze 23:24).
