エレミヤ書 41:18 JCB

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 41:1-18

Johanan's story proved to be true, and by the basest treachery Ishmael, with a handful of men, murdered Gedaliah and a number of others, and carried away the rest captive, intending to take them to the king of the children of Ammon. However, Johanan, who evidently had been watching and waiting, gathered a band of men and went after Ishmael. Ishmael escaped, but Johanan delivered the people from the threat. Afraid of the Chaldeans, they dwelt near Bethlehem, and purposed going into Egypt. ... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 41:1-18

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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 41:4-18

Jeremiah 41:4-Job : . Ishmael’ s Deeds and Flight.— Eighty pilgrims from N. Israel to Jerusalem, mourning its fall, and carrying offerings ( Jeremiah 17:26), were met by Ishmael and enticed into Mizpah. There he killed them all except ten who acknowledged that they had stores of grain, etc. Ishmael threw all the dead bodies into a great cistern, made by Asa, and started for Ammon, with the surviving Jews as his captives, including certain princesses (doubtless also Jeremiah and Baruch; cf.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 41:18

Here was one slain whom the conqueror Nebuchadnezzar had made governor in the land of Judah, and it was but reasonable for them to think that Nebuchadnezzar would take the affront done to himself, he being constituted governor by him; and though Johanan had nothing to do in that murder, yet he did not know but that the king of Babylon, being ignorant of any parties amongst the Jews, might look upon them, all as guilty who were Jews, and revenge Gedaliah’s blood upon all the remainder of that... read more

Jeremiah was given his choice of going to Babylon where he was promised special treatment, or of staying in the land with the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 41:1-18

Jeremiah 41:1 . In the seventh month, two months after the city had been taken, and the temple burned. Ishmael and his ten companions, who had held high commissions under Zedekiah, were feasted by the governor. What sort of moral masks must their faces have assumed in presence of the hospitable governor, who, while wishing him long life and prosperity, had their detachment ready for assassination. Jeremiah 41:2 . And smote Gedaliah. This cut off the hopes of the Jews afresh: heaven... read more
