5. THE FAVORABLE TURN IN THE FATE OF JEHOIACHINJeremiah 52:31-343127And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up 32the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison, and spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were 33with him in Babylon, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

The last chapter of the Book of Jeremiah consists of a historical appendix written, as the final words of the previous chapter show, by another hand. It first gives a brief account of the capture of the city, tracing the main events which led up thereto in the reign of Zedekiah, and giving the account of how he was arrested, compelled to look on the execution of his sons, had his own eyes put out, and was carried in fetters to Babylon, where he abode in prison until his death. It then... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

An Account Of The Taking And Destruction Of Jerusalem Which Is Then Followed By The Part Restoration Of The Davidic King (Jeremiah 52:1-34 ). In this narrative, which on the whole is a repetition of 2 Kings 24:18 to 2 Kings 25:30, there appear to be certain emphases: · King Zedekiah, and the people with him, ‘did what was evil in the sight of YHWH’. This phrase always indicates participation in idolatry and gross disobedience to the covenant. It explains all that follows (Jeremiah 52:2). ·... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:31-34

The Restoration Of Jehoiachin To A Position Of Honour (Jeremiah 52:31-34 ). When Nebuchadrezzar crushed the rebellion of Jehoiakim in 597 BC, with Jehoiachin coming to the throne as the Davidic king while the final days of the siege were in progress, he took the 18 year old Jehoiachin back to Babylon where he was imprisoned, replacing him on the throne with his father’s half-brother Zedekiah (2 Kings 24:8-17). Now Nebuchadrezzar’s son Evil Merodach (Amel-Marduk) would release Jehoiachin from... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Jeremiah 52. Historical Appendix.— This is taken from 2 Kings 24:18 ff., and gives an account of the capture of Jerusalem, etc., in 586, i.e. of the fulfilment of Jeremiah’ s repeated declarations. Except for Jeremiah 52:28-Amos :, this chapter has been taken, virtually verbatim, from its source, which should be consulted for the commentary (see mgg.) . The differences of text are of minor importance, e.g. the addition here of Jeremiah 52:10 b, and the last clause of Jeremiah 52:11, the... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 52:32

The king of Babylon might have other kings his prisoners, his father having been so great a conqueror, or he might have other kings his subjects, that might reside at his court; and either out of a particular kindness he had to Jehoiachin, or in regard of the fame of David and Solomon, from whom Jehoiachin lineally descended, he might do him this honour. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 52:1-34

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—This chapter forms a historical appendix to the Book of Jeremiah. Its AUTHORSHIP is conjectural. They who think Jeremiah penned it urge that the closing words of chap. 51, “Thus far the words of Jeremiah,” really ended the original form of the book. Yet this chapter may have been a separate roll, penned earlier than chap. 51, and now added to the book as supplying additional details to those be gave in chap. 39; or, indeed, be may have written it, copying part of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Jeremiah 52:1 . Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign. This and the two following verses are taken from 2 Kings 24:18-20; and the seven succeeding verses are taken from the thirty ninth chapter of this book. Hence Ezra, or some other holy man, added this chapter to show the accomplishment of Jeremiah’s prophecies, and to make the book complete. Jeremiah 52:12 . On the tenth day of the month. The general of the Chaldeans had been three days in the city before he... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 52:31-34

Jeremiah 52:31-34Lifted up the head of Jehoiachin.Jehoiachin’s change of fortuneWhat changes may occur in life: who can tell what we may come to? After thirty-seven years there arose a king who took a fancy to Jehoiachin, and made quite a favourite of him in the court. Good fortune is often tardy in coming to men; we are impatient, we want to be taken out of prison to-day, and set among kings at once, and to have all our desires gratified fully, and especially at once. See what has befallen... read more
