Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 39:4-10

Jeremiah 39:4-10. They fled by the gate betwixt the two walls Betwixt the wall and the outworks, or betwixt the old wall of the city and the new one which Hezekiah built, of which mention is made 2 Chronicles 32:5. See note on 2 Kings 25:4. Blaney thinks it probable that between these two walls there might be a private postern through which the king and his followers might slip out unperceived by the besiegers, who surrounded the city, and undoubtedly kept a strict watch on the principal... read more

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). Zedekiah tried to escape by night, but was quickly captured and brought face to face with the king of Babylon, as Jeremiah foretold. Although he was not executed, Zedekiah suffered cruel treatment before being taken captive to Babylon (3-7; cf. 34:2-3). The Babylonians then burnt Jerusalem, destroyed the city walls and took the citizens into captivity. They... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 39:4

THE CAPTURE OF ZEDEKIAH"And it came to pass that, when Zedekiah, the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out toward the Arabah. But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon to Riblab in the land of Hamath;... read more

The fall of Jerusalem 39:1-10What Jeremiah had predicted for so long finally became a reality for Judah. There are four chapters in the Bible that record the fall of Jerusalem, reflecting the importance of this event (39; 52; 2 Kings 25; 2 Chronicles 36). read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 39:4

When Zedekiah saw the invaders within the city, he and many of the Judean soldiers tried to escape by night, exiting Jerusalem by a gate in the king’s garden. This was perhaps the Fountain Gate near the Pool of Siloam (cf. Nehemiah 2:14; Nehemiah 3:15; Nehemiah 12:37) or the Horse Gate (cf. Nehemiah 3:28). [Note: Keil, 2:121, argued for the Horse Gate.] They took a passageway between the two walls of the city there (cf. Isaiah 22:11) and headed east toward the Arabah (Jordan Valley). Zedekiah... read more
