ירמיהו, פרק נ״ב, פסוק י״א

After being forced to witness the brutal execution of his family and closest allies, King Zedekiah meets a tragic end [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Stripped of his sight, the fallen king is hauled away to Babylon bound heavily in copper chains [מצודת ציון, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Although a blind and defeated man poses no actual danger to his captors, he is intentionally paraded in the manner of a common criminal. This harsh treatment is designed purely to humiliate him and completely break his spirit [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

Upon arriving in Babylon, Zedekiah is locked away in a prison. The specific language used to describe this facility implies a place of deposit or storage, reflecting how the captive king is simply put away and confined like an object [מצודת ציון]. In this Babylonian prison, he spends the rest of his days, remaining completely isolated until his death.
