Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 52:1-34
52:1-34 HISTORICAL APPENDIXThis appendix is similar to 2 Kings 24:18-25:30. The probable reason for its inclusion is to show how Jeremiah’s prophecies concerning Jerusalem’s last days were fulfilled.Judah’s king during its last tragic years was Zedekiah. He was a weak king, whose reign was characterized throughout by religious failure and political indecision. Finally, after years of uncertain plotting, he decided to rebel openly against his overlord Babylon (52:1-3). Nebuchadnezzar could be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 52:4-34
