Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 43:10-11

Jeremiah 43:10-11. And say, Thus saith the Lord, I will send Nebuchadrezzar, &c. God now commands his prophet to expound to the Jews the design of the order given him in the preceding verse. The stones hid in the clay, at the entry of Pharaoh’s house, were intended to be a sign that the king of Babylon should make himself master of that royal city, and set his throne in that very place. This minute circumstance is particularly foretold, that, when it was accomplished, they might be put... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 43:1-13

The move to Egypt (43:1-13)In flatly rejecting Jeremiah’s advice, the people gave proof that they had already made up their minds to go to Egypt. In spite of all his previous prophecies’ being proved true, they accused him of being a liar (43:1-2). They also turned against Baruch, who had apparently given similar advice against going to Egypt. They accused him of being a Babylonian agent and of influencing Jeremiah against them (3). They then left for Egypt, forcibly taking Jeremiah and Baruch... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Jeremiah 43:10

the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel. See note on Jeremiah 7:3 . The longer title is used to show the solemnity of the utterance. Nebuchadrezzar . . . will set, &c. This was fulfilled to the letter. Josephus records it ( A n t . x. 9, 10), but Egyptian history is naturally silent. It took place five years after his destruction of Jerusalem. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 43:10

Jeremiah was then to tell the Judahites that Yahweh was going to bring Nebuchadnezzar, His servant (cf. Jeremiah 27:6; 45:9; Isaiah 44:28), into Egypt. The Babylonian king would set up his throne and his royal canopy (or carpet) right over the place where Jeremiah had imbedded his stones. [Note: The Hebrew word shapriro, translated "canopy," occurs nowhere else in the Bible, and its meaning is debatable.] read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 43:10

(10) He shall spread his royal pavilion over them.—Here, again, the meaning of the Hebrew word is doubtful. The English Version, as before, follows Luther in taking it for the awning or canopy which was stretched over the throne when the king sat in state as judge. Others (e.g., Hitzig) find in it the leather covering which was placed over the pavement on which the throne was set, upon which the criminal knelt as on a scaffold to receive the death-stroke of the executioner. So taken, the... read more
