エレミヤ書 52:27 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 52:24-30

We have here a very melancholy account, 1. Of the slaughter of some great men, in cold blood, at Riblah, seventy-two in number (according to the number of the elders of Israel, Num. 11:24, 25), so they are computed, 2 Kgs. 25:18, 19. We read there of five out of the temple, two out of the city, five out of the court, and sixty out of the country. The account here agrees with that, except in one article; there it is said that there were five, here there were seven, of those that were near the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 52:27

And the king of Babylon smote them ,.... Or ordered them to be smitten with the sword; to have their heads cut off, according to Josephus F12 Antiqu. l. 10. c. 8. sect. 5. : and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath ; these being such, no doubt, who obstinately defended the city, and persuaded the prince and people not to surrender the city into the hand of the Chaldeans; and therefore were put to death in cold blood: thus Judah was carried away captive out of his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 52:4-34

The march of doom. These verses tell of the awful progress of the judgment of God on the doomed city of Jerusalem, her king, and people. To all who imagine that God is too full of love and graciousness to sternly judge and punish men, the contemplation of the events told of here may be painful, but assuredly they will be salutary also. We are shown the Babylonian armies gathering round the city; the long and dreadful siege; the gaunt famine that fastens upon the besieged; the walls broken... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 52:1-34

52:1-34 HISTORICAL APPENDIXThis appendix is similar to 2 Kings 24:18-25:30. The probable reason for its inclusion is to show how Jeremiah’s prophecies concerning Jerusalem’s last days were fulfilled.Judah’s king during its last tragic years was Zedekiah. He was a weak king, whose reign was characterized throughout by religious failure and political indecision. Finally, after years of uncertain plotting, he decided to rebel openly against his overlord Babylon (52:1-3). Nebuchadnezzar could be... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 52:24-30

C. The numbers deported to Babylon 52:24-30The number of exiles who went into captivity was important, because it was on this group that the future of Israel depended. Their deportation also validated many of Jeremiah’s prophecies that predicted the people would go into captivity in Babylon. read more

Nebuzaradan took all these prisoners to Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah, and the king executed them there. This completed the major deportation of the Judahites from their land. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Historical Appendix (probably by the compiler of the book)This chapter is substantially the same as Jeremiah 39 (see notes there), but adds particulars relating to the Temple vessels (Jeremiah 52:17.), while omitting Nebuchadnezzar’s charge as to Jeremiah’s safety (Jeremiah 39:11.). Both accounts are probably based on that of 2 Kings 24:18 to 2 Kings 25:30.1-11. Capture of the city. 12-27. Subsequent severities. 28-30. Nebuchadnezzar’s deportations. 31-34. Concluding notice of Jehoiachin. 4.... read more
