Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 52:12-13
Jeremiah 52:12-13 . Now in the fifth month This gave occasion to that solemn fast of the fifth month, observed in the times of the captivity: see Zechariah 7:3-5; Zechariah 8:19. In the tenth day of the month In the parallel place, 2 Kings 25:8, we read, on the seventh day. This difference some attempt to reconcile, by supposing that the one place may speak of the day Nebuzar-adan set out from Riblah, and the other of the day that he arrived at Jerusalem; or else, that he came on the... 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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:12
12. tenth day—But in :-, it is said "the seventh day." Nebuzara-dan started from Riblah on the "seventh" day and arrived in Jerusalem on the "tenth" day. Seeming discrepancies, when cleared up, confirm the genuineness of Scripture; for they show there was no collusion between the writers; as in all God's works there is latent harmony under outward varieties. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 52:12-14
In 586 B.C. Nebuzaradan, the captain of Nebuchadnezzar’s bodyguard, came to Jerusalem and burned down the temple, the royal palace, and every sizable building. Evidently Nebuzaradan arrived in Jerusalem on the seventh of the month (2 Kings 25:8) and began burning the city on the tenth. The soldiers with Nebuzaradan also broke down the wall of the city to make it indefensible (cf. Jeremiah 1:10; Jeremiah 18:7; Jeremiah 31:28)."The people of Judah had been guilty of the unthinkable, rebellion... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 52:13
The destruction of the temple. I. THE GREATEST EARTHLY SPLENDOUR IS DESTRUCTIBLE . Solomon's temple was the pride of the Jews. For centuries it had stood mellowing with age. But when the brutal Chaldeans flung their torches at it the magnificent pile of buildings was soon reduced to a mass of smouldering ruins. Sic transit gloria mundi. An invasion, a revolution, a conflagration, may destroy the work of years in a night. Splendid possessions are poor refuges. A palace is not... read more
