Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 12:12

12 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.

Zedekiah.

In Ierusalem.

Disguised no doubt as a common ordinary Servant, in hope so to scape, but to conceal himself he flies in a disguise, and chooseth the twilight as the time that would best favour his design, so 2 King. 25.4.

Fulfilled when they broke down the wall to fly, as Ier. 39.4. probably they had built up some sleight wall to blind the Enemy which now they break to fly through.

Partly out of grief, partly out of shame, partly prefiguring Zedekiah's future losse of his eyes and his blindness which the insolency of Nebuchadnezzar afflicted him with, but Zedekiah did by this chiefly aim at concealing himself in disguise and covering his face.
