Jeremiah 52:11 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

He put out the eyes of Zedekiah - thus fulfilling Ezekiel 12:13, "I will brink him to Babylon, yet shall he not see it."

Put him in prison - literally, the house of visitations or punishments; i:e., where there was penal work enforced on the prisoners, as grinding. Hence, Septuagint render it 'the house of the mill.' So Samson, after his eyes were put out, "did grind" in the Philistine prison-house (Judges 16:21).
