And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.

The king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you - i:e., which have raised the siege in order to meet Pharaoh-hophra (Jeremiah 37:7-10). The departure of the chaldeans was a kind of manumission of the Jews; but as their manumission of their bond-servants was recalled, so God revoked His manumission of them from the chaldeans.
