But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
The disobedience of the kings and people of Jerusalem brought captivity, and in that exile they were unable to continue observing the years of release and the Jubilee. The land was left desolate while its people were held in the territory of their enemies, with no opportunity to keep those appointed times. The succession of Jewish Jubilees therefore came to its close with the reign of Josiah. The captivity that followed his reign marks that ending, and the declaration that the exiled king would die where he had been led captive and never see his homeland again stands as part of the evidence for it.
