Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 42:7-22

7. THE UNWELCOME ANSWERJeremiah 42:7-227And it came to pass after ten days, that [or that after ten days] the word of the 8Lord [Jehovah] came unto Jeremiah. Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces [band-leaders] which were with him, and all the 9people from the least even to the greatest, and said unto them, Thus saith the Lord [Jehovah] the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication 10before him; If ye will still abide9in this laud,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 42:1-22

Before going forward, Johanan and those associated with him, gathered to Jeremiah, and asked that he pray for them and seek divine guidance. He consented at once to their request, and they promised obedience to whatever command was laid upon them. Ten days elapsed, and then Jeremiah delivered the message of the Lord in answer to Johanan. It was a distinct command to remain in the land, and not to go into Egypt. Divine protection was promised them if they were obedient, but they were warned... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 42:1-22

The Refugees Seek YHWH’s Guidance Through Jeremiah But On Receiving It Reject It Because It Does Not Fit In With Their Inclinations With The Consequence That Jeremiah Prophesies Judgment Against Them (Jeremiah 42:1 to Jeremiah 43:13 ). That Judah had still not learned its lesson comes out in that on receiving the word of YHWH from Jeremiah they immediately reject it and determine to follow their own inclinations. We have here a reproduction in miniature of the whole history of Israel. They... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 42:7-22

Jeremiah Brings To The People The Word Of YHWH (Jeremiah 42:7-22 ). The break of ten days during which Jeremiah waited on YHWH brings out the importance of what is to be said. The run of cultic prophets spoke spontaneously, having stirred themselves up into ecstasy, but this was no spontaneous word from Jeremiah. He had to wait on YHWH for the genuine word of YHWH. The wait would meanwhile leave the people feeling uneasy in the light of the impending threat of Nebuchadrezzar. It suggests that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 42:1-22

Jeremiah 42:1 to Jeremiah 43:7 . The Migration into Egypt.— Jeremiah is asked by the leaders ( Jeremiah 42:1 mg., with LXX) and the people to seek Yahweh’ s guidance, which they solemnly ( Jeremiah 42:5 mg.) promise to follow ( Jeremiah 42:1-Joshua :). After ten days, the Divine revelation comes to the prophet and is communicated to the people, to the effect that they are to remain in Judah, where Yahweh promises to protect them from the Babylonians; their hope of prosperity in Egypt will... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 42:14

The sense of the words is obvious, they thought that their life in the land of Judah would be at best an uneasy life, where they should be continually alarmed with the noise of war; and though they could not fear the want of bread in a land that flowed with milk and honey, yet they also considered that Egypt was a very fruitful country, by the overflowing of Nilus; and the prospect of this made them quit that usual fondness which people have of their native country. From whence appears that... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 42:1-22

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Chronology as in previous chapter. Observe: Jeremiah and Baruch had been among the captives of Ishmael, whom Johanan rescued (chap. Jeremiah 43:6).State of the Nation.—The preceding chapter reveals the baseness of the “royal seed” and the infatuation of the people’s latest leader. This chapter discloses the obstinacy of the people “from the least to the greatest” in disobeying God’s purpose and in dissembling their prayers. Thus, all God’s chastisements leaves... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 42:1-22

Chapter 42So in chapter 42:Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, they came unto Jeremiah, and said unto him, We beg you, that you will accept our supplication, and pray for us unto the LORD [or unto Jehovah] thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are just a few of the many, as your eyes behold us:) ( Jeremiah 42:1-2 )In other words, "There's just a few of us left. Now pray to the Lord your God for us."That the LORD [or Jehovah] thy God may show us the way... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 42:1-22

Jeremiah 42:1 . Then came all the captains of the forces. שׂרי sari, the princes of the army. Johanan and Jezaniah are for dignity named last, because they were of royal blood. All the people, be their number more or less, attended also: their hopes and interests were now at stake. Those princes knew well the law, that God must be consulted; such also was the law of heathen nations. Nor would the eager people be satisfied without an oracle. The sanctuary being destroyed, they had no... read more
