Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Good and bad figs (24:1-10)On the occasion of Babylon’s attack on Jerusalem in 597 BC, the king Jehoiachin (Jeconiah) was taken captive to Babylon, along with the best of Judah’s people. The people that Babylon did not want were left in Judah and placed under the control of Zedekiah, the new king appointed by Babylon (2 Kings 24:10-17). Jeremiah’s vision of two baskets of figs was concerned with these events (24:1-3).The people left behind in Jerusalem thought that they had God’s approval,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 24:8

REGARDING THE BAD FIGS"And as the bad figs that cannot be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus saith Jehovah, So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in the land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt, I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. And I will send the sword, the famine,... read more

Jeremiah 24:8. So will I give Zedekiah, &c.— So will I render Zedekiah, &c. Houbigant. REFLECTIONS.—Though, in general, the prophet's word was rejected by the people, yet there were some who heard it, and to whom it was a savour of life unto life.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 24:8

The bad figs corresponded to King Zedekiah, his administrators, the people who remained in Jerusalem and Judah, and the Judahites who had already fled to Egypt for safety."We are not told when people fled to Egypt, but those of pro-Egyptian sympathies may have settled there when Jehoahaz was taken there in 609 B.C. (2 Kings 23:34) or when Jehoiakim became Nebuchadrezzar’s vassal (cf. 603 B.C.) or even when Nebuchadrezzar invaded Judah in 598/7 B.C." [Note: Thompson, pp. 508-9.] read more
