2 KINGS 24:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.”
The king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River — Pharaoh Neco's withdrawal from the Levantine sphere indicates Babylon's military dominance. Egypt's loss of control from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates marks the end of Egyptian hegemony and the consolidation of Babylonian power. The geopolitical shift leaves Judea subject solely to Babylon.
