The cruelty showed was, that when strangers and aliens even the Chaldeans took Jerusalem and spoiled it, dividing the prey by lot, after the manner of soldiers, and carrying away their substance, they stood on the other side, not only not helping them in this their great necessity, but even furthering, what they could, their destruction. For when Nebuchadnezzar (as it is recorded in the 2 of the Chronicles, the last chap.) carried away 1the treasure of Jerusalem, burnt the temple, pulled down the walls, made havoc of the people: the Idumeans stood by crying, raze it even to the foundations. 2Neither only exhorted they the Chaldeans to this cruelty, but put their hands also thereunto, and did even as they, which appeareth in the 12, 13, and 14 verses, by the rehearsal of the particulars. But at this time it shall be enough to observe in general the cruelty of the Idumeans against the Jews in these two verses, for thy cruelty against thy brother Jacob.
