耶利米書 39:13-14 RCUVTS

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 39:13-14

Nebuzaradan passed the king’s orders along to the other Babylonian officials in Jerusalem. They released Jeremiah from his confinement in the court of the guardhouse (cf. Jeremiah 38:28) and entrusted him to Gedaliah, another favored Judean, who took him into his home. Jeremiah stayed among the poor people who remained in Jerusalem for some time. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 39:1-18

The Capture of Jerusalem (11th year of Zedekiah)The narrative in this c., with some varieties in detail, coincides with that of Jeremiah 52 and with 2 Kings 25.1-7. The city taken. Zedekiah’s fate.3. From the Eng. it would appear that there are six persons named. But Rab-saris (chief of the eunuchs) and Rab-mag (chief of the sorcerers) are only the titles of those whose names they follow. 4. The way of the plain] so as to escape to the eastern bank of Jordan. 5. Riblah] on the high road between... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 39:13

(13) Nebushasban.—The name, which occurs in the Annals cf Assur-banipal (Records of the Past, i. 64), is possibly another form of the Nebo-sarsechim of Jeremiah 39:3. Rab-saris ( = chief eunuch, or chamberlain) is, as before, his title. Ashpenaz appears as holding the same position, possibly, as Nebushasban’s predecessor, in Daniel 1:3. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 39:14

(14) Out of the court of the prison.—There is a slight apparent discrepancy between this statement and that in Jeremiah 40:1, that the prophet was set free at Ramah. It seems likely that, at first, he was sent back to the prison where he had been found, till he could be placed under the protection of Gedaliah.Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan.—The reason of the choice lies almost on the surface. Gedaliah was the representative of a house which for three generations had been true to... read more

CHAPTER 39 1. The fall of Jerusalem and the fate of Zedekiah (Jeremiah 39:1-9 ) 2. Nebuchadnezzar’s kindness to Jeremiah (Jeremiah 39:10-14 ) 3.

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 39:1-18

CLOSING EVENTS OF THE SIEGE We are again in Zedekiah’s reign (Jeremiah 37:1 ), and the same disobedience as before marks the period (Jeremiah 37:2 ). We are astonished at the effrontery accompanying it, (Jeremiah 37:3 ). Note the occasion when this prayer is solicited (Jeremiah 37:4-5 ). Egypt has come up to help, and the Babylonians in consequence, have raised the siege in order to meet the approaching army. Is it not an indication that God has changed His mind about Judah after all? The... read more
