Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And the Chaldeans burnt the king's house,.... His palace: this was a month after the city was taken, as appears from Jer 52:12; and the houses of the people, with fire; the houses of the common people, as distinct from the king's house, and the houses of the great men, Jer 52:13; though Jarchi interprets of the synagogues.
