Ezekiel 24:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Write; set it down, and in such manner, with such witness, that it may be proved. The name of the day, most punctually, set it down. The king of Babylon; Nebuchadnezzar, who in person it is like was there at first to encourage, direct, and settle the siege, though he withdrew from it for his delights when he perceived it would be a long siege, as on Ezekiel 11:11, the issue whereof he expected at Antioch on the banks of Orontes. Set himself against; sat down to besiege.
