耶利米書 49:1-2 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 49:1-2

A usurper in the inheritance. I. ACTUAL POSSESSION IS NOT THE ONLY THING TO BE CONSIDERED . Ammon is the actual present possessor of the territory of Gad. But every possessor must be ready upon occasion to show his title. With respect to the most trifling article the possessor must be able to make clear that it is his own, that he bought it, or inherited it, or had it given to him; in short, that it came to him in some entirely lawful way. Ammon had taken Gad by force,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 49:1

Hath Israel no sons? - i. e., the Ammonites in seizing Gilead have acted as if the country had no rightful owner. The sons of Israel were to return from captivity, and the land was their hereditary property.Their king - Milcom (and in Jeremiah 49:3), see the margin.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 49:1

Jeremiah 49:1. Hath Israel no sons? Why then doth their king inherit Gad? Is there no posterity of Israel, that the king of the Ammonites hath taken possession of Gad, as if he had a right to it, and his people dwell in the cities of it?

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:1-6

A message concerning Ammon (49:1-6)Like its brother nation Moab, Ammon was a distant relative of the nation Judah.

Ammon and Moab occupied part of the tableland region east of the Jordan River, which meant they were the immediate neighbours of Israel and Judah to the east.About a century before the time of Jeremiah, Assyria had conquered the northern kingdom Israel and... read more
