Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 38:14-28

Zedekiah Once Again Consults Jeremiah And Keeps Him Safely In The Court Of The Guard Until Jerusalem Is Taken (Jeremiah 38:14-28 ). This was to be Zedekiah’s last consultation with Jeremiah. During it he was offered a lifeline if he was willing to obey YHWH and surrender to the Babylonians. But there were huge pressures on him not to do so from his band of ‘princes’ who were firmly against such a surrender. We must presume that they still hoped that Egypt would come to their aid. And the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 38:14-28

Jeremiah 38:14-Hosea : . Zedekiah asks Jeremiah about the future, swearing immunity to him, whatever his answer ( Jeremiah 38:16). Jeremiah urges him to save himself and the city by surrender to Nebuchadrezzar’ s princes (Nebuchadrezzar being absent, Jeremiah 39:3; Jeremiah 39:5); promises that the Jews who have already deserted shall not illtreat him; declares a Divine vision of the end, contingent on the king’ s refusal to surrender. Jeremiah has seen the women of the harem being brought... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 38:25

It could hardly be imagined that Zedekiah should have this private discourse with Jeremiah, but some or other of his courtiers would take notice of it; but yet it argues that this poor prince was in a miserable subjection to them, that he could discourse with nobody but they must come and inquire what he said. read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 38:1-28

Jeremiah 38:0 Ropes and rags. I. Help always comes from above. Jeremiah found it so. It was useless to try to climb out of the dungeon, it was only to fall deeper into the mire. "Salvation is of the Lord." Ebedmelech is only a very poor picture of Jesus. The Saviour does more than send down a rope. He comes Himself and lifts us up. II. Although Ebedmelech may be a very poor type of Jesus Christ, he is a very good picture of the style in which one man may help another. He had sympathy. His kind... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 38:1-28

Chapter 37Now we come to the third part of the book of Jeremiah and this covers the period of Zedekiah the king. These particular prophecies, thirty-seven through thirty-nine, cover from the time that Zedekiah ascended to the throne unto his captivity in Babylon.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 38:1-28

Jeremiah 38:7 . Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, the king’s chamberlain. It seems to have been a new name given him on his promotion to office; but God gave him long life for preserving the life of Jeremiah. Jeremiah 38:26 . I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house. A good man is not bound to tell the whole truth to his enemies. When Samuel anointed David, he said that he went to Bethlehem to sacrifice to the Lord. 1 Kings 16:0. ... read more

Jer 38:25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee: Ver. 25. But if the princes hear. ] In such fear stood he of his princes, and might truly say, as the Assyrian once did, Are not my princes altogether kings?
