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" : 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 "Jer 39:5".
