耶利米書 41:10-13 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 41:1-10

It is hard to say which is more astonishing, God's permitting or men's perpetrating such villanies as here we find committed. Such base, barbarous, bloody work is here done by men who by their birth should have been men of honour, by their religion just men, and this done upon those of their own nature, their own nation, their own religion, and now their brethren in affliction, when they were all brought under the power of the victorious Chaldeans, and smarting under the judgments of God, upon... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 41:11-18

It would have been well if Johanan, when he gave information to Gedaliah of Ishmael's treasonable design, though he could not obtain leave to kill Ishmael and to prevent it that way, yet had staid with Gedaliah; for he, and his captains, and their forces, might have been a life-guard to Gedaliah and a terror to Ishmael, and so have prevented the mischief without the effusion of blood: but, it seems they were out upon some expedition, perhaps no good one, and so were out of the way when they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 41:10

Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah ,.... All that were not slain by him, that remained after the slaughter he had made, chiefly the unarmed people; they being men of war who fell by his sword: even the king's daughters ; whether they were the daughters of Zedekiah, Jehoiakim, or Jehoiakim, says Kimchi, we know not; but it is most likely that they were the daughters of Zedekiah the last king, and who was just taken and carried captive;... read more

But when Johanan the son of Kareah ,.... The same that is mentioned Jeremiah 40:8 ; and who had informed Gedaliah of Ishmael's designs against him, but he would not believe him: and all the captains of the forces that were with him ; his brother Jonathan, Seraiah, the sons of Ephai, and Jezaniah, Jeremiah 40:8 ; heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done ; in murdering Gedaliah, and those that were with him, destroying seventy other persons he had decoyed,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 41:12

Then they took all the men ,.... All the soldiers that were under their command; this they did at once, believing the report to be true, as they had reason to do; since they knew of Ishmael's designs, and had given notice and warning of them to Gedaliah, though he would not listen to them: and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah : resolving to give him battle, and to revenge the innocent blood he had shed, and rescue the captives out of his hands he was carrying to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 41:13

Now it came to pass, that , when all the people which were with Ishmael ,.... That is, those which he had brought captives from Mizpah; not those that came with him thither: saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, they were glad ; looking upon them as their deliverers; hoping by their means to be preserved from being carried captives to the king of Ammon. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 41:10

Verse 10 It is not known whether Ishmael had this design at the beginning, or whether, when he saw that he had no power to stand his ground, he took the captives with him, that he might dwell with the king of Ammon. It is, however, probable that this was done according to a previous resolution, and that before he slew Gedaliah, it was determined that the remnant should be drawn away to that country. Perhaps the king of Ammon wished to send some of his own people to dwell in Judea; thus he hoped... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 41:12

Verse 12 Here the Prophet informs us, that Ishmael did not attain his wishes; for he had resolved to sell; as it were, the people to the king of Ammon, but he was intercepted in his course. But he says first, that John the son of Kareah had heard the report, and that he, together with other leaders, went to meet him in order to intercept him in his journey. He says also that he collected all the men, even those who had been dispersed. All then they could have got, they enlisted, and went to... read more
