Jehozadak
The name "Jehozadak" means "Yahweh is righteous" in Hebrew. This name reflects the faith and hope of the Israelites in God's justice and righteousness, even amidst adversity. Jehozadak was a high priest, and his lineage is significant as it connects to the priestly line that would later return from exile. His name serves as a reminder of God's enduring righteousness and the hope of restoration for His people.

went into captivity
This phrase marks a pivotal moment in Israel's history, the Babylonian Exile. The Hebrew root for "captivity" is "galah," which means to uncover or remove. This removal from their homeland was a profound judgment but also a period of purification and reflection for the Israelites. It underscores the consequences of disobedience but also sets the stage for eventual redemption and return.

when the LORD sent
The phrase emphasizes God's sovereignty and active role in the events of history. The Hebrew word for "sent" is "shalach," indicating a deliberate action. This highlights the theological understanding that the exile was not merely a political event but a divine act of discipline intended to bring His people back to faithfulness.

Judah and Jerusalem
These terms refer to the southern kingdom and its capital, representing the heart of Jewish identity and worship. The mention of both underscores the totality of the exile's impact. Historically, Jerusalem was the site of the Temple, the center of Jewish worship, making its fall a devastating spiritual and cultural blow. Yet, it also points to the hope of restoration, as Jerusalem would later be rebuilt.

into exile
The term "exile" in Hebrew is "golah," which conveys the idea of being carried away. This was a period of profound loss and dislocation for the Israelites, yet it was also a time of spiritual renewal and the development of a deeper understanding of their covenant relationship with God. The exile became a crucible for refining their faith and identity.

by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar
Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king, is depicted as an instrument of God's judgment. His name in Akkadian means "Nabu, protect my boundary," reflecting his role as a powerful ruler. Historically, Nebuchadnezzar's campaigns were well-documented, and archaeological findings corroborate the biblical account of the Babylonian conquest. His involvement underscores the theme of God's sovereignty over nations and rulers, using even foreign powers to fulfill His purposes.

Verse 15. - Jehozadak. He did not share the violent end of his father, nor did he attain his father's high priest office, but lived to the end a captive (see note on ver. 4). Where this name occurs in Haggai and Zechariah, it is the same in the Hebrew as here, though Englished in the Authorized Version as Josedech. Where it occurs in Ezra and Nehemiah, the shorter form of Jozadak is found in the Hebrew as in the Authorized Version.
