Historically, Egypt had been a dominant force, often exerting influence over the smaller kingdoms of the region, including Judah. The reference to the king of Egypt not marching out again suggests a cessation of Egyptian military campaigns, likely due to the rise of Babylonian power. This aligns with historical records of Pharaoh Necho II, who was defeated by Nebuchadnezzar at the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BC, leading to a decline in Egyptian influence.because the king of Babylon had taken all his territory The king of Babylon here refers to Nebuchadnezzar II, who was expanding the Babylonian Empire. His military campaigns were successful in capturing territories that were previously under Egyptian control. This expansion is a fulfillment of the prophetic warnings given by prophets like Jeremiah, who foretold the rise of Babylon as a dominant power (<a href="/jeremiah/25-9.htm">Jeremiah 25:9</a>). The loss of territory by Egypt to Babylon marks a pivotal moment in the geopolitical landscape of the time.from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River The "Brook of Egypt" is traditionally identified with the Wadi el-Arish, which served as a border between Egypt and Canaan. The Euphrates River, on the other hand, was a major boundary in the north. This phrase delineates the extent of Babylonian control, stretching from the southern border of Canaan to the northern reaches of Mesopotamia. This vast area of control underscores the might of the Babylonian Empire and fulfills the prophecies of territorial shifts as seen in <a href="/isaiah/39-6.htm">Isaiah 39:6-7</a>.

Necho had been deprived by Nebuchadnezzar of all his conquests, and so crippled that he durst not venture again beyond his own borders. Thus Judah was left, denuded of all external help, to face the consequences of its revolt from Babylon, which speedily overtook it (<a href="/2_kings/24-10.htm" title="At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.">2Kings 24:10</a>).From the river (torrent) of Egypt--i.e., the Wady-el-Arish.

Nechoh's two expeditions were enough for him. In the first he was completely successful, defeated Josiah (<a href="/2_kings/23-29.htm">2 Kings 23:29</a>), overran Syria as far as Carchemish, and made Phoenicia, Judaea, and probably the adjacent countries tributary to him. In the second (<a href="/jeremiah/46-2.htm">Jeremiah 46:2-12</a>) he suffered a calamitous reverse, was himself defeated with great slaughter, forced to fly hastily, and to relinquish all his conquests. After this, he "came not any more out of his land." Whatever hopes he held out to Judaea or to Tyre, he was not bold enough to challenge the Babylonians to a third trial of strength, but remained - peaceably within his own borders.
