Exegesis
and he brought’ depict the exile sequence, with et-malkah {אֶת־מַלְכָּהּ | ʾet mal-kāh} ‘her king’ and ve-et-sareha {וְאֶת־שָׂרֶיהָ | wə-ʾet sā-rê-hā} ‘and her princes’ as forced direct objects, leading to exilic relocation with otam elav bavelah {אוֹתָם אֵלָיו בָּבֶלָה | ō-thām ʾê-lāw bā-ḇe-lāh} ‘them to him, to Babylon.’ The structure builds through interrogative challenge into prophetic declaration and narrative action, underscoring the certainty of exile.
