And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, &c.] That were in the city: and I was left; in the temple; and the only one that was left there, the rest were slain; for there were none marked in the temple, only in the city, (<260904>Ezekiel 9:4); that I fell upon my face; as a supplicant, with great humility: and cried, and said; being greatly distressed with this awful providence: ah, Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel; the ten tribes had been carried captive before; there only remained the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and these were now threatened with an utter destruction: in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? shown in the destruction of men, both in the city and temple, by famine, pestilence, and sword.
