Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 34:1-7

Jeremiah 34:1-Judges : . The Fate of Jerusalem and of Zedekiah.— In the course of the siege (588– 6), Jeremiah is sent to Zedekiah to tell him that the city will be taken and destroyed, that he will be brought before Nebuchadrezzar and sent to Babylon, but will obtain the customary royal honours after a peaceful death. At this time, it is said, the only other uncaptured cities were Lachish (Tell-el-Hesy, 35 m. SW. of Jerusalem, see p. 28) and Azekah ( Joshua 15:35, probably 15 m. SW. of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 34:1-22

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES:—1. Chronology of the Chapter. Section I., Jeremiah 34:1-7, is in subject connected with chap. Jeremiah 32:1-5. These verses, however, seem slightly to antedate that chapter, for observe the words (Jeremiah 34:2), “Go and speak to Zedekiah,” implying that Jeremiah had not yet been imprisoned; whereas in Jeremiah 32:2, Jeremiah is “shut up in the court of the prison.” This section must date at the very beginning of the Chaldean invasion, and follows closely upon the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 34:1-22

Jeremiah 34:2 . Go and speak to Zedekiah. This revelation was delivered in the tenth year of his reign, and would have saved the land, when all hopes of safety were fled. Jeremiah 34:4 . Thou shalt not die by the sword. Mercy is mixed with judgment. The king had spared Jeremiah’s life twice, when the priests sought to kill him, and afterwards, when the princes prayed the king to put him to death, because his predictions discouraged the soldiers; now the Lord spared the king’s life.... read more
