He was in Ezekiel 23:2 commanded to show the Jews all their abominations. Now he is directed to begin with the greatest first, either those of the royal family, or else such as adhered close to the interest of them, and were advanced to places of great trust; or, who were heads of families. Every one; not one to be found of a juster or more merciful temper. To their power; according to their ability and opportunity. To shed blood; for murdering all they hated, or that stood in their way.
