Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 40:2-3

In Ramah, Nebuzaradan learned that Jeremiah was among the captives about to be sent to Babylonia, so he released him again. The captain of the guard confirmed to Jeremiah that Yahweh had done to Jerusalem just as He had said He would because of the sins of His people. This pagan could see what Yahweh was doing, whereas Judah’s leaders could not see because they were spiritually blind."As God’s people, we have to bow in shame when the world publicly announces the sins of the saints (Genesis... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:1-16

Gedaliah as Governor (586 b.c.)Jeremiah 40:7 to Jeremiah 43:6 are briefly summarised in 2 Kings 25:22-26. The account in the book of Kings mentions merely the accomplished results; while here the process by which these results were brought about are fully detailed. We learn here in particular that Ishmael benNethaniah was prompted to assassinate Gedaliah by the Ammonite king, Baalis, and that Gedaliah was warned of the plot by Johanan, but that he refused to believe that Ishmael would do such a... read more

40:2 {a} And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.(a) From Jeremiah 40:2 to Jeremiah 42:7 it seems to be as a parenthesis and separated matter and there this story begins again and this vision is declared what it was. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 40:1-16

LAST MESSAGE TO THE REMNANT Chapter 40 opens with an account of Nebuchadnezzar’s kindness to Jeremiah, inspired by what he had known of the latter’s advice to his countrymen (Jeremiah 40:1-4 ). Jeremiah had been the friend of Babylon, but not necessarily the enemy of his own nation. His patriotism was unquestioned, but the highest expression of his patriotism was his counsel to Judah to obey the will of God and submit to Babylon. Jeremiah’s choice of action is in Jeremiah 40:5-6 . The new... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 40:1-6

It is blessed to trace the Lord's providences over the Lord's people. Here was Jeremiah enjoying more freedom and happiness from the appointment of enemies, than he had from professed friends. I pray the Reader, however, not to overlook the cause, in the Lord's appointment. How fully was that scripture proved: Proverbs 16:7 . read more
