The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 21:1-14
Saved so as by fire. This chapter has been by some means put out of its proper place; for it treats of King Zedekiah, whilst in later chapters circumstances connected with the reigns of the kings who preceded him are given. But being placed here it serves to show how God's servants, despised at first, come to be honored at last. The stocks had been good enough for Jeremiah—so the last chapter tells-and his enemies had smitten him as if he were a common felon. Here we find the king and high... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 21:2
Nebuchadrezzar . This form predominates in Jeremiah and Daniel, and is the only form found in Ezekiel. It is, in fact, the correct way of spelling the name, which is in Babylonian Nabu-kudura-ucur , i.e. "Nebo, protect [or perhaps, 'has made'] the crown." According to all his wondrous works ; e . g . the destruction of Sennacherib, which must have occurred in the first instance to the minds of devout Jews. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 21:1
By sending this embassy Zedekiah acknowledged that Jeremiah held the same position in the kingdom which Isaiah had held under Hezekiah 2 Kings 19:2. Pashur and Zephaniah belonged to the party who were for resisting Nebuchadnezzar by force of arms. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 21:1
Jeremiah 21:1. The word which came to Jeremiah, when King Zedekiah sent unto him The occasion of Zedekiah’s sending the message here mentioned to Jeremiah, has, by some commentators, been confounded with that in chap. 37. “But I think,” says Blaney, “they are clearly and undeniably distinct one from the other. From the reply given to that in chapter 37., it is manifest that the Chaldeans, who had been besieging Jerusalem for some time had already raised the siege, and were gone to meet the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 21:2
Jeremiah 21:2. Inquire, I pray thee, of the Lord for us As Zedekiah was not one of the best, so he was not one of the worst of the kings of Judah. Having some reverence for God, he sends the prophet to inquire of him. Or, as the word דרשׁ , signifies, to seek or apply to God by prayer and supplication: see Isaiah 55:6. If so be the Lord will deal with us, &c. If he will show his wonderful power, in giving us a total deliverance from the hands of our enemies, the Chaldeans. If... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 21:1-10
21:1-25:38 WARNINGS TO KINGS AND FALSE PROPHETSA message for Zedekiah (21:1-10)This message was given late in the reign of Judah’s last king, Zedekiah. Jerusalem was under its last great siege, which resulted in its fall and destruction in 587 BC. The king sent to Jeremiah and asked that he would pray to God to save Jerusalem from the Babylonians (21:1-2). Jeremiah replies that God will not save Jerusalem but will fight for the Babylonians (Chaldeans) against Jerusalem. Many of the people... read more

Jeremiah's Fourteenth Prophecy, Jeremiah 21:1-10 , and a new division of the book (see book comments for Jeremiah). Note the reigns: Jeremiah 21:0 : Zedekiah (the last king of Judah).

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 21:1-7
A king appealing for a prophet's intercession. I. A KING 'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT HUMAN RESOURCES ARE UNAVAILING . The hour and the danger so long and often predicted, referred to all the more earnestly as the hour draws nigh, has come at last. No time is here taken up in narrating the attempts Zedekiah may have made himself to repel the invader. The Scriptures were not meant to give us details of sieges. The likelihood is, however, that it was long before Zedekiah reached... read more
