Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 36:21

21 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths : for as long as she lay desolate; she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years .

i. e. Had rested from the labour of the Husbandmen in plowing and harrowing it, &c. the People that should have managed it being destroyed. Of the Phrase see the Notes on Levit. 25. 2.

That so the 70 years Captivity prophesied of by Jeremiah, might be accomplished.
