Jeremiah 52:11

     11. Eze 12:13: "I will bring him to Babylon . . . yet shall he not see it."

      prison—literally, "the house of visitations," or "punishments," that is, where there was penal work enforced on the prisoners, such as grinding. Hence the Septuagint renders it "the house of the mill." So Samson, after his eyes were put out, "ground" in the Philistine prison-house (Jud 16:21).
