Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 39:15-18

Jeremiah 39:15-18 . The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah when he was in the court of the prison These words give us to understand that this and the next three verses respect a matter which took place before the things related in the preceding part of this chapter, namely, the kindness which Ebed-melech showed to Jeremiah in his distress.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 39:1-18

The fall of Jerusalem (39:1-18)After eighteen months of siege, the Babylonian armies finally broke through the walls of Jerusalem (39:1-2).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 39:17

The Lord promised to deliver Ebed-melech from the Babylonian soldiers. They would not kill him. He had, after all, delivered Jeremiah from death at the hand of Zedekiah’s officials. This would be his reward for trusting in the Lord. The evidence of his trust was his respect and concern for Jeremiah, who proclaimed the Lord’s words."Jeremiah 39 presents a strong contrast between faithfulness and the lack of faith. Jeremiah and Ebed-melech represent those who are faithful to the LORD and to whom... read more
