John Trapp on Ezra 4:15

Verſe 15. In the book of the Records] Chald. Of the Remembrances, that is, the Chronicles uſual in all Kingdomes.

And that this City is a rebellious City] See the Note on verſe 12. and learne, that fidelity to governours is ever both ſafe and honourable. Zedekiah's falſifying his oath to the King of Babylon, was the overthrow of that Common-wealth. See what God himſelf ſaith, not without great indignation, Ezek. 17.18. Seeing he (Zedekiah) deſpiſed the oath, by breaking the Covenant (when loe he had given his hand) and hath done all theſe things, he ſhall not eſcape.
