Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Kings 21:14
And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
14. And I will forsake [R.V. cast off ] the remnant ] ‘Forsake’ need not necessarily imply ‘a punishment that has been deserved’ which is what is here intended. Hence R.V. has substituted ‘cast off’ or ‘reject’ in many instances. Cf. Jdg 6:13; Jer 15:16; Jer 23:33; Jer 23:39, &c.
