2 Kings 25:22 meaning
Following the destruction of Jerusalem, a remnant of the people remained in Judah, and in an attempt to stabilize the region, Nebuchadnezzar appointed Gedaliah as their governor. Gedaliah, a descendant of a respected family, was a friend of the prophet Jeremiah and sought to lead the people with wisdom and compassion during this turbulent time. His governance was seen as a glimmer of hope for restoration after the devastation of their land. Gedaliah encouraged the Judeans to serve the Babylonian king peacefully, promising that it would go well for them—a reassurance to those who might have feared the Chaldeans. The situation appeared promising as many returned to the land, looking to him for leadership and stability.
