John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up,.... In prison, at least in the court of the prison; he had given orders for his imprisonment, which were executed, and it was the same as if he had done it himself; the reason of which was, as follows:saying, wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, thus saith the Lord,behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it?

meaning the city of Jerusalem, now besieged by the king of Babylon.
