Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

In the border of Israel - Hamath was the northern border of Israel (margin reference). At Riblah in Hamath the king of Babylon judged and condemned Zedekiah and the princes of Judah Jeremiah 52:9-10.

Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of (e) Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
(e) That is, in Riblah, read (2-Kings 25:6).

Ye shall fall by the sword,.... Of the Chaldeans; not in the city of Jerusalem, but out of it, when it was broken up, and they fled:
I will judge you in the border of Israel; that is, inflict punishment on them, particularly by the sword; which was done at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where the sons of Zedekiah were slain, and all the princes of Judah, Jeremiah 52:9; and this was on the border of the land of Israel, Numbers 34:8;
and ye shall know that I am the Lord; who knows things, and foretells them before they are; and am able to accomplish all that is threatened; and am just and righteous in all my ways and works; and who am known by the judgments executed by me.

in the border of Israel--on the frontier: at Riblah, in the land of Hamath (compare 2-Kings 25:19-21, with 1-Kings 8:65).
ye shall know that I am the Lord--by the judgments I inflict (Psalm 9:16).

Will judge - My just judgments shall pursue you, whithersoever you fly.
