Ezekiel17:21
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered towards all winds, and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.
Not strictly, but in large sense: All, i. e. the greatest part, as Ier. 13.19. and 44.22. Mat. 2.3. and 3.5.
Who, at the taking of Ierusalem, attempt to fly with their King.
His Guards probably of stoutest men reserved to convey him in safety from the pursuing Enemy.
The Enemy shall overtake, and cut in pieces.
The few that do escape shall be scattered abroad among Strangers, who will shew them very little kindness.
The miseries these people shall fall under, shall be of such weight and continuance, that all shall know 'tis the execution of an extraordinary wrath from Heaven against them.
