Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 26:4-6

Jeremiah’s message was basically this: If the people continued to refuse to listen to the Lord through His prophets, and to disobey the Mosaic Covenant, He would destroy the temple and Jerusalem. The temple would suffer complete destruction as the town of Shiloh had, and Jerusalem would become a curse, namely, an object of ridicule and an example of horrible suffering (cf. Genesis 12:3). Making the temple like Shiloh would involve three things: desecration of the sanctuary, removal of the holy... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 26:6

(6) I will make this house like Shiloh.—See Notes on Jeremiah 7:14. The surprise and anger with which the announcement was received indicate that it was now heard for the first time, and so far confirms the view that we have here a summary of the discourse given in extenso, and probably edited, as it were, with many additions, in Jeremiah 7-10 read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-24

CHAPTER IIA TRIAL FOR HERESYJeremiah 26:1-24; cf. Jeremiah 7:1-34; Jeremiah 8:1-22; Jeremiah 9:1-26; Jeremiah 10:1-25"When Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak unto all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, Thou shalt surely die."- Jeremiah 26:8THE date of this incident is given, somewhat vaguely, as the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim.

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-24

MESSAGES IN JEHOIAKIM ’S REIGN Having just considered discourses in Zedekiah’s reign, and now returning to that of Jehoiakim (Jeremiah 25:1 ), it can be seen that the chapters are not arranged chronologically. The first message is that of the seventy years captivity. We are familiar with that period as Judah’s forced stay in Babylon, and it is interesting to see the place where it was definitely predicted (Jeremiah 25:11-12 ). Note what leads up to the prediction, God’s patience and... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-7

It is impossible to read the continued perseverance of the mournful Prophet, and to hear the sad subject of the peoples neglect of his preaching, but with much exercise and pain of the mind. Reader! is not the same part acted over again, against faithful ministers of the Lord, in the present hour? Are there not thousands who reject the counsel of God against their own souls, and both neglect and despise the Preacher, and his word, as much as those of old? What can be an higher proof of the fall... read more
