He may have hung so low from the bough, in consequence of the length of his hair, that he could not use his hands to help himself, or so entangled that his hands were bound, so that the more he struggled the more he was embarrassed. This set him up as a fair mark to the servants of David; and although David would have spared his rebellious son, if his orders had been executed, yet he could not turn the sword of Divine justice, in executing the just, righteous sentence of death on this traitorous son. 14; 14:26; 17:23; Mt 27:5taken up.De 21:23; 27:16,20; Job 18:8-10; 31:3; Ps 63:9,10; Pr 20:20; 30:17Jer 48:44; Mr 7:10; Ga 3:132 Chronicles 33:11

My net.This was to intimate, that though he escaped out of the city, the Chaldeans should overtake him, and carry him to Babylon. Jeremiah had predicted that his "eyes should see the eyes of the king of Babylon," and here Ezekiel foretold that he should not see Babylon, though he should die there; and Josephus says that he thought the two prophecies so inconsistent with each other, that he believed neither; yet both were exactly fulfilled, and the enigma of Ezekiel explained, when Zedekiah was brought to Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah, where he had his eyes put out, and was then carried to Babylon, and there died. 17:16,20; 19:8,9; 32:3; Job 19:6; Ps 11:6; Isa 24:17,18; Jer 50:24La 1:13; 3:47; 4:19,20; Ho 7:12; Lu 21:35and I.2Ki 25:5-7; Jer 34:3; 39:7; 52:8-11Ezekiel 32:3
