Commentary on Jeremiah 39:4
When Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them... then they fled (וַיִּבְרָח, vayyivrach)—After 18 months of defiant resistance, Zedekiah's courage collapsed at the crucial moment. The verb barach (בָּרַח) denotes panicked flight, not strategic retreat. He escaped by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls—a secretive escape route through the southeast passage toward the Kidron Valley.This flight fulfilled Ezekiel's symbolic prophecy: the prince would 'dig through the wall' and flee in darkness (Ezekiel 12:5-12). Zedekiah's cowardice contrasts sharply with Jeremiah'...
