Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 36:21

_ _ until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths — The return of every seventh was to be held as a sabbatic year, a season of rest to all classes, even to the land itself, which was to be fallow. This divine institution, however, was neglected — how soon and how long, appears from the prophecy of Moses (see on Leviticus 26:34), and of Jeremiah in this passage (see Jeremiah 25:9-12), which told that for divine retribution it was now to remain desolate seventy years. As the Assyrian conquerors usually colonized their conquered provinces, so remarkable a deviation in Palestine from their customary policy must be ascribed to the overruling providence of God.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:11-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 36:21

Sabbaths — Had rested from the labour of the husbandman in plowing and harrowing it; the people that should have managed it being destroyed. Many a time had they ploughed and sowed their land in the seventh year, when it should have rested: and now it lay unploughed and unsown for ten times seven years. Yet even this might encourage them to hope, that they should in due time return to it again. Had others come and taken possession of it, they might have despaired of ever recovering it. But while it lay desolate, it, as it were, waited for them, and refused to acknowledge any other owners.
