Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 43:7

Jeremiah 43:7. Thus came they even to Tahpanhes— That is to say, to Daphne. This was one of the principal cities of Egypt; and in it was a palace where their kings often resided. It is supposed by many to be the same city which was afterwards called Daphne Pelusiaca. See Isaiah 30:4. St. Jerome tells us from an ancient tradition, that the prophet Jeremiah was stoned to death in this place by the Jews. See Lowth, and Calmet. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 43:5-7

These leaders took this remnant, which included Jews who had returned to the land from neighboring countries, Jews whom the Babylonians had left in the land, Jeremiah, and Baruch, and proceeded to Egypt. They stopped at Tahpanhes (Gr. Daphne; cf. Jeremiah 2:16), an Egyptian frontier town in the northeastern Nile Delta region on the road from Canaan, perhaps to obtain permission to settle in the land. [Note: See the map of the ancient Near East at the end of these notes.] They did this in... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 43:7

(7) Thus came they even to Tahpanhes.—The town was obviously on the north-eastern frontier of Egypt. In Jdt. 1:9 it appears between the river of Egypt (the Rhinocolura, which divided Egypt from Palestine) and Ramesse (the Raamses of Exodus 1:11, or Rameses of Numbers 33:3; Numbers 33:5) and all the land of Gesen, or Goshen. In Ezekiel 30:16-18 it is named, in conjunction with No (= Thebes) and Noph (= Memphis), among the chief cities of Egypt. In Greek historians it appears as Daphnce and as... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 43:1-13

CHAPTER 43 1. The rebellion against Jeremiah (Jeremiah 43:1-7 ) 2. Jeremiah’s prediction about the conquest of Egypt (Jeremiah 43:8-13 ) Jeremiah 43:1-7 . No sooner had Jeremiah finished communicating the divine answer, but the captains and the proud men denounced him. They charged him that he spoke falsely, that all he had said was at the instigation of Baruch, that both were traitors. Then the leaders did not obey the voice of the Lord to dwell in the land; they took the remnant of Judah... read more
