The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:1

Jeremiah 43:7 Dissembling in prayer. This section may teach us much on this very serious matter. I. WHAT IT IS TO DISSEMBLE IN PRAYER . It is: 1 . To pray in a deliberately continued unregeneracy of heart. The hearts of not a few of those Jews who now sought Jeremiah's prayers were deliberately held in a condition of disobedience. They had never really repented. How many such pray, but their prayer is a dissembling! 2 . When allowing ourselves in forbidden... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:1-6

Taking counsel with God. I. TROUBLE DRIVES MEN TO PRAYER . In their trouble "all the people, from the least even unto the greatest," sought help from God through the prayers of Jeremiah. In deep distress there are common wants of humanity, which touch alike the prince and the peasant. Then one common cry will burst from all lips to the God of all flesh. The beggar and the king in their agony utter the same moan, "My God!" There was but "a remnant" of the Jews left in the land.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:1-6

Inquiring of God is great crises. I. THE RIGHT AND DUTY OF IT . 1 . Because of his claim to respect and obedience. It was a traditional custom in Israel. Jehovah was their national God. He had delivered them, created them into a nation, and laid them under eternal obligations. 2 . Because of helplessness and danger. The petitioners were "left but a few of many." They knew that it was through their own folly for the most part that they had been brought to such a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:1-6

Waiting on the Divine ordinance I. THE REQUEST OF THE PEOPLE 1 . The apparent unanimity of it. All the people come, from the least to the greatest. Certainly there were not very many of them. They were but a remnant to begin with, and now still further reduced. But such as they were, an outward unity obtained among them. Outward unity is often obtained with comparative ease, but it must not be forgotten that it may cloak indifference, discord, opposition, and may be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:2

Said unto Jeromiah the prophet. Jeremiah, we have been already told, was one of the refugees at Mizpah ( Jeremiah 40:6 ), and consequently was forced into the train of Ishmael ( Jeremiah 41:16 ). Pray for us . This petition has been accused of hypocrisy, but the prophecy of Jeremiah assumes throughout that it was made in earnest. The "captains" never supposed it possible that Jeremiah could direct them to stay in Judah; the only question with them was as to the best direction for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:3

Divine guidance. I. THE NEED OF DIVINE GUIDANCE . 1 . It arises out of our obligation to do the will of God. We are not left to carve out a career for ourselves, but to fulfil a Divine vocation. With this definite end before us, our life must fail unless we are directly making for it. A harmless life, following its own whims and fancies, is a wasted life. But only God knows his own will. Therefore we need that he shall reveal this to us, to show us, not only the path of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 42:1

Among those delivered by Johanan from Ishmael had been Jeremiah and Baruch Jeremiah 43:6; and to them now all, without exception, come for counsel.Jezaniah - He is called Azariah in Jeremiah 43:2. The Septuagint, in both places, call him Azariah. Since there is little reason for identifying him with Jezaniah the Maachathite Jeremiah 40:8, it is probable that the Septuagint is right in calling him in both places Azariah, and that the reading Jezaniah arose from some scribe assuming that his name... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 42:1-3

Jeremiah 42:1-3. Then all the captains, and all the people That is, both those captains, and many of the people; came near and said unto Jeremiah Who was probably carried away with the other captives by Ishmael, and rescued by Johanan; Let, we beseech thee, our supplications be accepted before thee Thus these men, though wretched hypocrites, yet address the prophet with great respect and reverence, and in words which implied that they thought themselves unworthy to be permitted to ask... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 42:1-22

Jeremiah opposes going to Egypt (42:1-22)As Jeremiah had been living at Mizpah, he was probably among the people who had been captured by Ishmael and who were now thinking of fleeing to Egypt. These people therefore asked him to seek God’s guidance for them (42:1-3). Jeremiah agreed to their request, and they promised to do whatever God said, whether it pleased them or not (4-6).After ten days Jeremiah received God’s answer, and quickly passed it on to the people (7-9). God’s directions were... read more
