Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 34:2-5
Jeremiah 34:2-5. Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and thou shalt not escape, &c. This prophecy, which threatened the king in particular, as well as the city and nation in general, so much displeased Zedekiah that he shut up Jeremiah in prison. See notes on Jeremiah 32:2-5, where the same things are related that occur here. But thou shalt die in peace Namely, by a natural death. The king of Babylon took him, killed his sons before his eyes, then put... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 34:1-22
Treacherous slave-owners (34:1-22)Again Jeremiah tells King Zedekiah that Jerusalem will fall to the Babylonians. Zedekiah himself will be taken to Babylon but will not be executed. When he eventually dies he will be given a fitting royal funeral (34:1-7).Earlier, when the Babylonians laid siege to Jerusalem, Zedekiah issued a command that slave-owners were to release all their Hebrew slaves. He no doubt hoped that his action would win God’s favour, and he probably thought it had succeeded when... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 34:1-7
The announcement of Zedekiah’s fate 34:1-7"The Book of Consolation has ended, and Jeremiah 34:1 confronts its readers with the full force of the invading imperial army. The destruction of Jerusalem and the remainder of Judah seems inevitable (Jeremiah 34:3) because the LORD has made Nebuchadrezzar ruler over all the nations and because burning with fire is a fitting consequence for their deeds. . . ."This unit serves to direct the readers’ attention to the issue of obedience to the LORD’s word... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 34:2
The prophet was to go to King Zedekiah and tell him that Israel’s God was going to deliver Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar, who would burn it (cf. Jeremiah 21:4-7; 2 Kings 25:6-9). His rebellion against Babylon’s authority would not succeed. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 34:3
Zedekiah would not escape, but instead would be captured, and would stand before Nebuchadnezzar face to face (cf. Jeremiah 39:5-7). He would also go to Babylon as a prisoner of war. All this came to pass (cf. Jeremiah 39:4-7; Jeremiah 52:7-11). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 34:2
The woe of weakness. "Zedekiah, King of Judah." The life of this unhappy monarch is a piteous but powerful illustration of the misery of instability of character, the sorrows that dog the footsteps of the infirm will. What men need, in order to be happier and better than they are, is not more knowledge of what is right—they are amply supplied with that; or the presence of plentiful good purpose and desire to do the right—hell itself is paved with good intentions; but what is needed is... read more
