Gedaliah Made Governor And Threatened By The Jews v. 7. Now, when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, the leaders of the Jewish army who had fled to hide themselves in remote and inaccessible places of the land, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, governor in the land and had committed unto him men and women and children and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon, 39:10, the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 40:1-16

Chapters forty and forty-one, which contain the prophecies of Jeremiah after the fall of Jerusalem, constitute his last messages to the chosen people. These fall into two parts-first, prophecies against going into Egypt, and, second, prophecies in Egypt. Jeremiah was evidently taken with the captives, but was released, and Nebuzaradan offered him his choice between going into Babylon and settling anywhere in the land he chose. Jeremiah chose to go to Gedaliah, the governor appointed by the... read more

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 continued). As we have previously seen this Section of Jeremiah from Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 divides up into four main subsections, which are as follows: 1. Commencing With A Speech In The Temple Jeremiah Warns Of The Anguish That Is Coming And Repudiates The Promises Of The False Prophets (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 29:32). 2. Following On After The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:7-16

Political Events In The New Judah - Gedaliah Re-establishes Judah But Is Assassinated (Jeremiah 40:7 to Jeremiah 41:18 ). What follows is a description of the events that followed the appointment of Gedaliah, events in which Jeremiah played no active part. It does, however, set the scene for Jeremiah’s prophecies in chapter 42-43, and reveals that among the patriotic resistance leaders who showed themselves willing to submit to Gedaliah’s governorship, once they recognised that their cause... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:13-16

Gedaliah Receives And Rejects A Warning About Ishmael’s Intentions (Jeremiah 40:13-16 ). The loyal former resistance commanders learned of Ishmael’s plottings, and came to Gedaliah and warned him of Ishmael’s intentions. They were now content to settle in the land under Gedaliah’s governorship. So they warned him that Ishmael was plotting with the king of Ammon to have Gedaliah assassinated. One of them even offered to have Ishmael done to death secretly. But like many honest men Gedaliah... read more

Jeremiah 40:13-Nehemiah : . Gedaliah’ s Peril.— Johanan warns Gedaliah of his danger from Ishmael, another of the newly-submitted leaders ( Jeremiah 41:1), alleged to be an agent of the king of Ammon ( Jeremiah 27:3). Gedaliah refuses to believe this, or to avail himself of Johanan’ s offer to kill Ishmael. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 40:16

Thus God dementates those whom he designeth to destroy. Gedaliah in this showeth an excellent temper, not to be over-credulous and suspicious, Charity thinks no ill, but not that prudence which became a chief magistrate. He ought to have been watchful against one against whom he had received such an information, which we shall in the next chapter find he was not, but was slain by him. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 40:1-16

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—A purely historical chapter, of events following the city’s ruin. It records the out-gleaming of a ray of hope upon the appalling gloom which had befallen the land, in the appointment of Gedaliah as its governor; and also its quick extinction in the conspiracy of Ishmael, a prince of the royal family (chap. Jeremiah 40:1).Personal Allusions.—Jeremiah 40:5. “Gedaliah” (vide note on chap. Jeremiah 39:14).Jeremiah 40:8. “Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah.” The most... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 40:1-16

Chapter 40Now as we come into the fourth part of the book of Jeremiah, these are the prophecies of Jeremiah to the people after Zedekiah was carried away and the remnant of the people who stayed here in the land. They still did not take everybody. Remember he left the poor people in the land to just have the land. Take over the vineyards and everything else and you can just have it. So the poor of the people, the poor people were given the land. So this Jeremiah remained with them, and this is... read more
