Concept:Surrendering to a superior enemy can sometimes be a deliberate act to protect the people and the city.
Explanation:In 597 B.C., King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon surrounded Jerusalem during the reign of Jehoiachin.
Jehoiachin saw that continued resistance would lead to the total destruction of the city and its people.
So he chose to surrender himself and his officials to the Babylonians instead of fighting on.
This act of submission persuaded Nebuchadnezzar to spare the city from being burned and demolished at that time.
Although Jehoiachin was taken captive to Babylon and many Jews were exiled with him, his main goal was not to cause exile.
His aim was also not merely to become a servant of Nebuchadnezzar, nor to fulfil any prophecy through Nehemiah.
By giving himself up, Jehoiachin saved Jerusalem from immediate destruction.
