Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 12:13

13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Caldeans, yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

In the disguise this fugitive might possibly escape from the net of Nebuchadnezzar, and of his Captains. But poor Zedekiah dost thou not at last see that the Babylonians are employed of God, and that God will bring thee into his own and into Nebuchadnezzars Net.

In allusion to those that take Birds or Fish in Nets, they spread it to its full extent, so will God spread his net that it shall cover Zedekiah and his followers.

Mentioned as the principal though he was not taken alone, many were taken with him.

The Chaldeans carried him, and God brought him to Babylon, so second causes cowork with the first.

Which was the Metropolis of the Kingdom.

That strange Land where they were Captives whom God sent before, and whither obstinate Ierusalemites must now go.

Neither the Land nor the City, though he shall spend the rest of his days there and there die, but the Babylonish Tyrant will put out his eyes at Riblah, 2 King. 25.6. and Ier. 39.5.
