Jeremiah 34

1 Jeremiah prophesies the captivity of Zedekiah and the city.
8 The princes and the people having dismissed their
bond-servants, contrary to the covenant of God, re-assume them. 12 Jeremiah, for their disobedience, gives them and Zedekiah
into the hands of their enemies.

This chapter contains two discourses, one concerning the taking of the city, and Zedekiah's captivity and death, ver. 1-7; and the other containing an invective against the inhabitants of Jerusalem for retaining their Hebrew slaves, ver. 8-22; both of which were delivered in the tenth year of Zedekiah.

It appears from this and several other passages, that the sabbatical year had been wholly neglected some centuries before the captivity; and the author of the second book of Chronicles (ch. 36:21) assigns this as a reason for the captivity, "that the land might enjoy her sabbaths." Now, if we reckon the seventy years' captivity as a punishment for this neglect, it will follow that the law on this subject had been disregarded for about 490; years. 7:25,26; 11:8-10; 32:30; 1Sa 8:7,8; 2Ki 17:13,14; 2Ch 36:16; Ne 9:30; Eze 20:4,8; Zec 7:11,12;
