Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 25:3

3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land .

Which word is easily understood, by comparing this and the first verse, and Ier. 39. 2. and 52. 6. where it is expressed.

i. e. For the common sort of people, who flock'd thither from all parts, upon the approach of the Babylonian Army; but only for the great Men and Soldiers. See of the grievousness of this [illegible: 1+ letters]lamine, Lam. 4. 10. and Ezek. 5. 10, 12.
