The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 52:31-34
The deliverance of Jehoiachin. The new king signalized his accession to power by an act of clemency. Possibly he saw no reason to continue the cruelty of his predeceesor now that the Jews were quieted; possibly he was influenzal by Daniel. Whatever the cause of it may have been, it is pleasant to see how mercy "becomes the throned monarch better than his crown." I. DELIVERANCE MAY COME AT LENGTH AFTER PROLONGED SUFFERING . Jehoiachin had endured thirty-seven years of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 52:33-34
Jeremiah 52:33-34 . And changed his prison garments This has been considered by some an act of generosity in Evil-merodach, giving the captive king new garments, more suitable to his royal dignity than those he wore in prison. But Blaney thinks “it was rather the act of Jehoiachin himself, who, out of respect to the king of Babylon’s presence, and to mark his just sense of the favour shown him, no longer neglected his person and dress, as when a prisoner, and in affliction: but put on new... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 52:1-34
52:1-34 HISTORICAL APPENDIXThis appendix is similar to 2 Kings 24:18-25:30. The probable reason for its inclusion is to show how Jeremiah’s prophecies concerning Jerusalem’s last days were fulfilled.Judah’s king during its last tragic years was Zedekiah. He was a weak king, whose reign was characterized throughout by religious failure and political indecision. Finally, after years of uncertain plotting, he decided to rebel openly against his overlord Babylon (52:1-3). Nebuchadnezzar could be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 52:4-34
The march of doom. These verses tell of the awful progress of the judgment of God on the doomed city of Jerusalem, her king, and people. To all who imagine that God is too full of love and graciousness to sternly judge and punish men, the contemplation of the events told of here may be painful, but assuredly they will be salutary also. We are shown the Babylonian armies gathering round the city; the long and dreadful siege; the gaunt famine that fastens upon the besieged; the walls broken... read more
