Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

CHAPTERS 50-51 Babylon These two final chapters contain a great prophecy concerning Babylon, her overthrow and doom. The fifty-first chapter closes with the statement “thus far are the words of Jeremiah.” There is a direct statement that Jeremiah wrote all these words. We find it at the close of Jeremiah 51:59-64 . “Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.” It would be a brazen infidelity which says Jeremiah did... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Fifty-five Years Old Jer 52:31-34 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign in Judah. Jehoiachin reigned three months. He had hardly been a king at all before he was taken away captive. In captivity he spent thirty-seven years: therefore he was fifty-five years old when this took place. What changes may occur in life: who can tell what we may come to? After thirty-seven years there arose a king who took a fancy to Jehoiachin, and made quite a favourite of him in the court. Good... read more

24-30 The leaders of the Jews caused them to err; but now they are, in particular, made monuments of Divine justice. Here is an account of two earlier captivities. This people often were wonders both of judgment and mercy. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 52:16-34

Disposition of the Spoil and of the Captives v. 16. But Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard, left certain of the poor of the land, of those who had no possessions in money or goods, for vine-dressers and for husbandmen, so that the country would not revert to a wilderness on account of total neglect. v. 17. Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, on either aide of the main entrance of the Sanctuary, 1 Kings 7:15, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

The last chapter of the Book of Jeremiah consists of a historical appendix written, as the final words of the previous chapter show, by another hand. It first gives a brief account of the capture of the city, tracing the main events which led up thereto in the reign of Zedekiah, and giving the account of how he was arrested, compelled to look on the execution of his sons, had his own eyes put out, and was carried in fetters to Babylon, where he abode in prison until his death. It then... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

An Account Of The Taking And Destruction Of Jerusalem Which Is Then Followed By The Part Restoration Of The Davidic King (Jeremiah 52:1-34 ). In this narrative, which on the whole is a repetition of 2 Kings 24:18 to 2 Kings 25:30, there appear to be certain emphases: · King Zedekiah, and the people with him, ‘did what was evil in the sight of YHWH’. This phrase always indicates participation in idolatry and gross disobedience to the covenant. It explains all that follows (Jeremiah 52:2). ·... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:24-30

The Execution Of Judah’s Religious And Political Leaders And The Exile Of Its Leading Citizens (Jeremiah 52:24-30 ). Nebuzaradan now selected out what remained of the leading citizens in Jerusalem for execution as having main responsibility for the rebellion, taking them to Riblah so that they could be ‘tried’ before Nebuchadrezzar. Along with them he took large numbers of other captives, some to be taken into exile, and others who were of the poorer classes (the predominant class) to be left... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Jeremiah 52. Historical Appendix.— This is taken from 2 Kings 24:18 ff., and gives an account of the capture of Jerusalem, etc., in 586, i.e. of the fulfilment of Jeremiah’ s repeated declarations. Except for Jeremiah 52:28-Amos :, this chapter has been taken, virtually verbatim, from its source, which should be consulted for the commentary (see mgg.) . The differences of text are of minor importance, e.g. the addition here of Jeremiah 52:10 b, and the last clause of Jeremiah 52:11, the... read more
