Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Jeremiah 34:1-7
Zedekiah's death at Babylon foretold. (Jr 34:1-7) The Jews reproved for compelling their poor brethren to return to unlawful bondage. (Jr 34:8-22) Verses 1-7 Zedekiah is told that the city shall be taken, and that he shall die a captive, but he shall die a natural death. It is better to live and die penitent in a prison, than to live and die impenitent in a palace.
