Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 39:1-18

CHAPTER 39 1. The fall of Jerusalem and the fate of Zedekiah (Jeremiah 39:1-9 ) 2. Nebuchadnezzar’s kindness to Jeremiah (Jeremiah 39:10-14 ) 3. Ebed-melech’s reward (Jeremiah 39:15-18 ) Jeremiah 39:1-9 . The Word of God comes true; the prophecy of Jeremiah is vindicated! The mighty army of Nebuchadnezzar returned to the city; for many months the siege goes on under indescribable suffering. How horrible it must have been! Then the city fell and the victors rushed in; the work of... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 39:5

39:5 But the Chaldeans’ army pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to {c} Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.(c) Which is called Antioch in Syria. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 39:1-18

CLOSING EVENTS OF THE SIEGE We are again in Zedekiah’s reign (Jeremiah 37:1 ), and the same disobedience as before marks the period (Jeremiah 37:2 ). We are astonished at the effrontery accompanying it, (Jeremiah 37:3 ). Note the occasion when this prayer is solicited (Jeremiah 37:4-5 ). Egypt has come up to help, and the Babylonians in consequence, have raised the siege in order to meet the approaching army. Is it not an indication that God has changed His mind about Judah after all? The... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 39:4-9

What a sad business Zedekiah had made of it; and what a grievous calamity followed! Zedekiah was but in the prime of life when these things took place. And here he felt the awful consequence of rejecting the counsel of God against his own soul His eyes allowed him to behold his little ones, and nobles, all slain; and then darkness as to this world, closed in upon him forever. Reader! pause and contemplate the still greater calamity of the hardened sinner, when all earthly comforts are departing... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 39:1-10

1-10 Jerusalem was so strong, that the inhabitants believed the enemy could never enter it. But sin provoked God to withdraw his protection, and then it was as weak as other cities. Zedekiah had his eyes put out; so he was condemned to darkness who had shut his eyes against the clear light of God's word. Those who will not believe God's words, will be convinced by the event. Observe the wonderful changes of Providence, how uncertain are earthly possessions; and see the just dealings of... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Jeremiah 39:1-10

Jeremiah THE LAST AGONY Jer_39:1 - Jer_39:10 . Two characteristics of this account of the fall of Jerusalem are striking,-its minute particularity, giving step by step the details of the tragedy, and its entire suppression of emotion. The passionless record tells the tale without a tear or a sob. For these we must go to the Book of Lamentations. This is the history of God’s judgment, and here emotion would be misplaced. But there is a world of repressed feeling in the long-drawn narrative,... read more
