24:7 The king of Egypt did not venture out of his country after that because of Nebuchadnezzar’s overwhelming strength. Any hope Judah had of help from Egypt was in vain (see Jer 2:36; 46:2-12; Ezek 29:6, 16). • The Brook of Egypt has been identified as either the Wadi el-Arish at the edge of the Nile delta, or as Nahal Besor, which lies south of Gaza.
