and the Lord delivered: The fact that Jehoiachim is recorded to have been given over shows that it was not a victory for the might of his enemies but rather it was of the will of the Lord. (St. Jerome) part of the vessels: The Jews had been enlightened by both ancient and recent prophets and were witnesses of countless marvels, yet they scorned God by serving idols. So God handed over the vessels as if to tell them that they are no different than the sinful foreigners. (Theodoret of Cyrus) Sennaar: This is a region of Babylon in which the plain of Dura was located, and also the tower which those who had migrated from the East attempted to build up to heaven. Genesis 11 (St. Jerome)
