King Zedekiah, the last king of Judah, was captured by Nebuchadnezzar II, the king of Babylon. This fulfilled the prophecy given by Jeremiah that Jerusalem would fall to Babylon (<a href="/jeremiah/21-7.htm">Jeremiah 21:7</a>). The exile was a pivotal moment, marking the end of the Davidic reign in Jerusalem until the return from exile. Babylon, located in modern-day Iraq, was a dominant empire known for its grandeur and power, as well as its role in God's judgment against Judah for their disobedience.where he will stay until I attend to him, declares the LORD. This indicates God's sovereignty and control over the events. "Attend to him" suggests divine intervention or judgment. Historically, Zedekiah was blinded and taken to Babylon, where he remained until his death (<a href="/2_kings/25-7.htm">2 Kings 25:7</a>). This phrase underscores the theme of divine justice and the fulfillment of God's word. It also reflects the biblical principle that God disciplines those He loves (<a href="/hebrews/12-6.htm">Hebrews 12:6</a>), using even foreign nations to accomplish His purposes.If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed.’” The Chaldeans, synonymous with the Babylonians, were known for their military prowess. This warning from God through Jeremiah highlights the futility of resisting His ordained plans. The Chaldeans were instruments of God's judgment, and any attempt to fight them would be against God's will. This echoes the broader biblical theme that human efforts are in vain without God's blessing (<a href="/psalms/127.htm">Psalm 127:1</a>). The warning serves as a call to submission to God's will, a recurring message in the prophetic books.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A prophet called by God to deliver messages of judgment and hope to the people of Judah.

The prophet looks forward to a general deliverance, or at least mitigation of suffering, for the exiles in Babylon, and, though he does not in distinct terms predict that Zedekiah will share in it, seems to cherish the hope that he will not be altogether excluded. Of his fate after he arrived in Babylon we know nothing, but the absence of his name when Jehoiachin was released from his imprisonment (Jer. Iii. 31) by Evil-merodach suggests the conclusion that he was then dead.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/32.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 5. - Until I visit him; i.e. until I take notice of him.
