Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 52:9

(9) To Riblah in the land of Hamath.—The descriptive words are omitted in 2 Kings 25:6. (See Note on Jeremiah 39:5.)He gave judgment upon him.—In 2 Kings 25:6, they gave judgment. So in the next verse “the king of Babylon slew” takes the place of “they slew” in 2 Kings 25:7. read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

CHAPTERS 50-51 Babylon These two final chapters contain a great prophecy concerning Babylon, her overthrow and doom. The fifty-first chapter closes with the statement “thus far are the words of Jeremiah.” There is a direct statement that Jeremiah wrote all these words. We find it at the close of Jeremiah 51:59-64 . “Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.” It would be a brazen infidelity which says Jeremiah did... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Fifty-five Years Old Jer 52:31-34 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign in Judah. Jehoiachin reigned three months. He had hardly been a king at all before he was taken away captive. In captivity he spent thirty-seven years: therefore he was fifty-five years old when this took place. What 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... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-11

1-11 This fruit of sin we should pray against above any thing; Cast me not away from thy presence, Psalms 51:11. None are cast out of God's presence but those who by sin have first thrown themselves out. Zedekiah's flight was in vain, for there is no escaping the judgments of God; they come upon the sinner, and overtake him, let him flee where he will. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 52:1-15

Circumstances Attending the Capture of Jerusalem v. 1. Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, when Nebuchadnezzar made him a tributary ruler over Judah, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

And he did that which was evil in the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Jeremiah 52:1-11

Jeremiah ‘AS SODOM’ Jer_52:1 - Jer_52:11 . This account of the fall of Jerusalem is all but identical with that in 2Ki_25:1 - 2Ki_25:30 It was probably taken thence by some editor of Jeremiah’s prophecies, perhaps Baruch, who felt the appropriateness of appending to these the verification of them in that long-foretold and disbelieved judgment. The absence of every expression of emotion is most striking. In one sentence the wrath of God is pointed to as the cause of all; and, for the rest,... 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
