Clarke's 2-kings 24:12 Bible Commentary
Jehoiachin - went out - He saw that it was useless to attempt to defend himself any longer; and he therefore surrendered himself, hoping to obtain better terms.
Barnes's 2-kings 24:12 Bible Commentary
The eighth year - Jeremiah calls it the seventh year Jeremiah 52:28, a statement which implies only a different manner of counting regnal years.
Wesley's 2-kings 24:12 Bible Commentary
24:12 Went out - Yielded up himself and the city into his hands; and this by the counsel of Jeremiah, and to his own good.His reign - Of Nebuchadnezzar's reign; as appears by comparing this with chap. 25:8 , and because Jehoiachin reigned not half a year. Had he made his peace with God, and taken the method that Hezekiah did in the like case, he needed not to have feared the king of Babylon, but might have held out with courage, honour and success. But wanting the faith and piety of an Israelite, he had not the resolution of a man.
