Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 52:33-34

Jehoiachin left prison. He even took his meals with Evilmerodach, and received a daily allowance for the rest of his life, probably to support his family. His personal experience was a foreview of the national experience of the Israelites."There is considerable theological significance in these four verses. The fact that Jehoiachin lived on long after the exile and that he was finally released from prison may have seemed like the first signs of the fulfilment [sic] of Jeremiah’s promise of a... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Historical Appendix (probably by the compiler of the book)This chapter is substantially the same as Jeremiah 39 (see notes there), but adds particulars relating to the Temple vessels (Jeremiah 52:17.), while omitting Nebuchadnezzar’s charge as to Jeremiah’s safety (Jeremiah 39:11.). Both accounts are probably based on that of 2 Kings 24:18 to 2 Kings 25:30.1-11. Capture of the city. 12-27. Subsequent severities. 28-30. Nebuchadnezzar’s deportations. 31-34. Concluding notice of Jehoiachin. 4.... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

CHAPTERS 50-51 Babylon These two final chapters contain a great prophecy concerning Babylon, her overthrow and doom. The fifty-first chapter closes with the statement “thus far are the words of Jeremiah.” There is a direct statement that Jeremiah wrote all these words. We find it at the close of Jeremiah 51:59-64 . “Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.” It would be a brazen infidelity which says Jeremiah did... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Fifty-five Years Old Jer 52:31-34 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign in Judah. Jehoiachin reigned three months. He had hardly been a king at all before he was taken away captive. In captivity he spent thirty-seven years: therefore he was fifty-five years old when this took place. What changes may occur in life: who can tell what we may come to? After thirty-seven years there arose a king who took a fancy to Jehoiachin, and made quite a favourite of him in the court. Good... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:31-34

31-34 See this history of king Jehoiachin in 2 Kings 25:27-30. Those under oppression will find it is not in vain for them to hope and quietly to wait for the salvation of the Lord. Our times are in God's hand, for the hearts of all we have to deal with are so. May we be enabled, more and more, to rest on the Rock of Ages, and to look forward with holy faith to that hour, when the Lord will bring again Zion, and overthrow all the enemies of the church. read more

Disposition of the Spoil and of the Captives v. 16. But Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard, left certain of the poor of the land, of those who had no possessions in money or goods, for vine-dressers and for husbandmen, so that the country would not revert to a wilderness on account of total neglect. v. 17.
