Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 39:3

3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sate in the middle gate , even Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sar-sechim; Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon .

All the great men of Babylon, that were imployed in the conduct of the Babylonian Army (the City being taken by storm, or surprize) entred into it, but rested at the middle gate. The City they say was incompassed with two Walls, before they came to the Wall of the Temple, the gate in the inner Wall, is supposed to have been that which is called the middle gate, they would not at first adventure in further, the City being large and well fortified, there might have been some Traps laid for them, they would therefore have their Souldiers first clear the streets, and search all places, that they might enter further into the City without hazarding their persons.

Some Interpreters have examined the signification of the names of these Prince[illegible: 1 letter], but I know of no use it can be to us, whither they were the names of the Persons, or significative of the Offices they bare.
