耶利米书 34:2 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 34:1-7

1-7 Zedekiah is told that the city shall be taken, and that he shall die a captive, but he shall die a natural death. It is better to live and die penitent in a prison, than to live and die impenitent in a palace. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 34:1-7

Of The Captivity of Zedekiah v. 1. The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, literally, "all the kingdoms of the country of the rule of his hand," and all the people, the heaping of these expressions denoting the overwhelming power of His army, against which all resistance was useless, fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof, the cities of Judah, which were... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 34:1-7

C. Historical Appendix to Jeremiah 32:1-5(Jeremiah 34:1-7)From the introductory words to chh. 32 and 33 we perceive that the event, which is here narrated (Jeremiah 34:1-7), falls in the 10th year of Zedekiah, since the conference, in consequence of which Jeremiah was confined in the court of the prison (Jeremiah 32:3), must be that of which we have an account in this passage. Both passages agree almost verbatim in the announcement of the fate impending on the king and the city (comp. Jeremiah... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 34:1-22

Chapters thirty-four and thirty-five contain prophecies of the siege. The armies of Nebuchadnezzar were round about Jerusalem, and Jehovah declared to Zedekiah that the king of Babylon would be successful, that the city would be taken and burned with fire, and that he himself would be carried captive to Babylon. Nevertheless, the word of Jehovah concerning Zedekiah was that he should not die by the sword, but in peace. The next prophecy is a denunciation of the king for the false covenant he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 34:1-7

Subsection 3 Part 1. Jerusalem Is Surrounded And Jeremiah Declares that There Is no Point In Holding Out Because Jerusalem Is About To Be Destroyed And Zedekiah Will Be Carried Off To Babylon To Meet Nebuchadrezzar Face To Face Where He Will Die ‘In Peace’ And Be Lamented By His Nobles (Jeremiah 34:1-7 ). Jerusalem was in dire straits. Surrounded by the Babylonians and by armies from ‘all the kingdoms of the earth which were under his dominion’ it knew that only two other cities of Judah were... read more

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). (continued). As we have previously seen this Section of Jeremiah from Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 divides up into four main subsections, which are as follows: 1. Commencing With A Speech In The Temple Jeremiah Warns Of What Is Coming And Repudiates The Promises Of The False Prophets (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 29:32). 2. Following The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New Covenant Written In... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 34:1-7

Jeremiah 34:1-Judges : . The Fate of Jerusalem and of Zedekiah.— In the course of the siege (588– 6), Jeremiah is sent to Zedekiah to tell him that the city will be taken and destroyed, that he will be brought before Nebuchadrezzar and sent to Babylon, but will obtain the customary royal honours after a peaceful death. At this time, it is said, the only other uncaptured cities were Lachish (Tell-el-Hesy, 35 m. SW. of Jerusalem, see p. 28) and Azekah ( Joshua 15:35, probably 15 m. SW. of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 34:1-22

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES:—1. Chronology of the Chapter. Section I., Jeremiah 34:1-7, is in subject connected with chap. Jeremiah 32:1-5. These verses, however, seem slightly to antedate that chapter, for observe the words (Jeremiah 34:2), “Go and speak to Zedekiah,” implying that Jeremiah had not yet been imprisoned; whereas in Jeremiah 32:2, Jeremiah is “shut up in the court of the prison.” This section must date at the very beginning of the Chaldean invasion, and follows closely upon the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 34:1-22

Jeremiah 34:2 . Go and speak to Zedekiah. This revelation was delivered in the tenth year of his reign, and would have saved the land, when all hopes of safety were fled. Jeremiah 34:4 . Thou shalt not die by the sword. Mercy is mixed with judgment. The king had spared Jeremiah’s life twice, when the priests sought to kill him, and afterwards, when the princes prayed the king to put him to death, because his predictions discouraged the soldiers; now the Lord spared the king’s life.... read more
