These chapters outline the final days of the kingdom of Judah. Babylon places the land under siege and captures the city of Jerusalem. When the city falls, the king is put to death and the people carried away to Babylon. A puppet government is established; but is overthrown by those who remained in the land. At that time, many of those who remained left for Egypt, out of fear of the Chaldeans.
Both nations are now in exile; but God had not forgotten his promises to the people regarding this land.
