エレミヤ書 49:37 JCB

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 49:36-37

God would scatter the Elamites in every direction, using military attacks from many different directions to do so (cf. Ezekiel 37:9; Daniel 8:8; Zechariah 6:1-8). He would destroy them in battle."Judging from its geographical situation, we must probably come to the conclusion that Elam fell to the lot of the Medes." [Note: Keil, 2:258.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:1-39

Against Ammon, Edom, and other Nations1-6. The territory of Ammon was N. of Moab, and the two peoples were connected by descent. The carrying away of the tribes on the E. of Jordan by Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria (2 Kings 15:29), strengthened the hands of Ammon, and it is their occupation of the portion of Gad upon that occasion that forms the crime which is dwelt on in this prophecy, and which shall bring on them judgment.1. Their king] RV ’Malcam,’or Moloch, the god of the Ammonites, and... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:34-39

CHAPTER XXIVELAMJeremiah 49:34-39"I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might."- Jeremiah 49:35WE do not know what principle or absence of principle determined the arrangement of these prophecies; but, in any case, these studies in ancient geography and politics present a series of dramatic contrasts. From two ancient and enduring types of Eastern life, the city of Damascus and the Bedouin of the desert, we pass to a state of an entirely different order, only slightly connected with... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 49:34-39

I beg the Reader, as he closeth this account, to mark the sweet promise of grace to Elam, in the latter days. And when he hath done it, let him consult the Prophet Joel for the meaning of the phrase latter days; and the Acts of the Apostles, for the fulfillment of the promise, when the Holy Ghost was poured out on the Elamites, and both will serve to throw a light upon similar promises of grace, in this Chapter. Joel 2:28 , etc. Acts 2:1-9 and then to Acts 2:21 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:34-39

34-39 The Elamites were the Persians; they acted against God's Israel, and must be reckoned with. Evil pursues sinners. God will make them know that he reigns. Yet the destruction of Elam shall not be for ever. But this promise was to have its full accomplishment in the days of the Messiah. In reading the Divine assurance of the destruction of all the enemies of the church, the believer sees that the issue of the holy war is not doubtful. It is blessed to recollect, that He who is for us, is... read more

Against Damascus, Hazok, and Elam v. 23. Concerning Damascus. Hamath, a powerful city on the Orontes and formerly the capital of a country of the same name, is confounded, and Arpad, another mighty city, both of them now within the confines of Syria, for they have heard evil tidings; they are faint-hearted, full of concern on account of the reports which they have heard; there is sorrow on the sea, terror among the inhabitants along its shores; it cannot be quiet, there is no rest for... read more

6. Prophecy against the AmmonitesJeremiah 49:1-6The Ammonites also, the brother nation of the Moabites, (Genesis 19:37) after centuries of various conflict (comp. Judges 3:13; Judges 10:7 sqq.; Judges 11:32; 1 Samuel 11:0; 2 Samuel 10:11; 2 Samuel 12:26; 2 Chronicles 20:0; 2 Chronicles 26:8; 2 Chronicles 27:5) in consequence of the deportation of the East-Jordanic tribes have appropriated a part of their territory. This fact forms the point of departure for the present prophecy. Older... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 49:1-39

Against the children of Ammon Jeremiah raised a protest because their king was in possession of Gad. He declared that by the fierce judgment of war, they were to be dispossessed and driven forth. The message ends with a gleam of hope, in which the prophet foretold that again the children of Ammon would be made captive. Concerning Edom, destruction is foretold, in spite of her wisdom. The reference to wisdom in Teman may be a satirical literary allusion to the fact that it was the birtbplace... read more
