Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

An Account Of The Taking And Destruction Of Jerusalem Which Is Then Followed By The Part Restoration Of The Davidic King (Jeremiah 52:1-34 ). In this narrative, which on the whole is a repetition of 2 Kings 24:18 to 2 Kings 25:30, there appear to be certain emphases: · King Zedekiah, and the people with him, ‘did what was evil in the sight of YHWH’. This phrase always indicates participation in idolatry and gross disobedience to the covenant. It explains all that follows (Jeremiah 52:2). ·... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:4-11

In Accord With The Prophecies Of Jeremiah Nebuchadrezzar Besieges Jerusalem, Takes Zedekiah Prisoner And Exacts Vengeance On His Sons And On The Nobles Of Judah (Jeremiah 52:4-11 ). Jeremiah 52:4 ‘And it came about in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, and they built forts against it round about.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Jeremiah 52. Historical Appendix.— This is taken from 2 Kings 24:18 ff., and gives an account of the capture of Jerusalem, etc., in 586, i.e. of the fulfilment of Jeremiah’ s repeated declarations. Except for Jeremiah 52:28-Amos :, this chapter has been taken, virtually verbatim, from its source, which should be consulted for the commentary (see mgg.) . The differences of text are of minor importance, e.g. the addition here of Jeremiah 52:10 b, and the last clause of Jeremiah 52:11, the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 52:1-34

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—This chapter forms a historical appendix to the Book of Jeremiah. Its AUTHORSHIP is conjectural. They who think Jeremiah penned it urge that the closing words of chap. 51, “Thus far the words of Jeremiah,” really ended the original form of the book. Yet this chapter may have been a separate roll, penned earlier than chap. 51, and now added to the book as supplying additional details to those be gave in chap. 39; or, indeed, be may have written it, copying part of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 52:8-11

Jeremiah 52:8-11 Of the many truths which the passage before us teaches, the mysterious intervolution of the plans of God with the plans of men will seem to some minds the most impressive. I. The enclosure of the plans of men within the plans of God is such that commonly men appear to be left very much to themselves. II. In leaving men to themselves in the forming and working of their own plans, Divine control does not prevent the occurrence of very shocking catastrophes. III. Yet the plans of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Jeremiah 52:1 . Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign. This and the two following verses are taken from 2 Kings 24:18-20; and the seven succeeding verses are taken from the thirty ninth chapter of this book. Hence Ezra, or some other holy man, added this chapter to show the accomplishment of Jeremiah’s prophecies, and to make the book complete. Jeremiah 52:12 . On the tenth day of the month. The general of the Chaldeans had been three days in the city before he... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:9-11

9-11. Then they took the king Zedekiah, king of Judah. Put him in prison Namely, in Babylon. Till the day of his death Yet it appears that toward the close of his life his confinement was less rigorous than when he was first taken to Babylon, and that an honourable interment was given him after his death. This is the purport of the promise made to him through Jeremiah while yet in Judea, as recorded in Jeremiah 34:1-5. read more
