Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:7-16

Political Events In The New Judah - Gedaliah Re-establishes Judah But Is Assassinated (Jeremiah 40:7 to Jeremiah 41:18 ). What follows is a description of the events that followed the appointment of Gedaliah, events in which Jeremiah played no active part. It does, however, set the scene for Jeremiah’s prophecies in chapter 42-43, and reveals that among the patriotic resistance leaders who showed themselves willing to submit to Gedaliah’s governorship, once they recognised that their cause... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:13-16

Gedaliah Receives And Rejects A Warning About Ishmael’s Intentions (Jeremiah 40:13-16 ). The loyal former resistance commanders learned of Ishmael’s plottings, and came to Gedaliah and warned him of Ishmael’s intentions. They were now content to settle in the land under Gedaliah’s governorship. So they warned him that Ishmael was plotting with the king of Ammon to have Gedaliah assassinated. One of them even offered to have Ishmael done to death secretly. But like many honest men Gedaliah... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:13-16

Jeremiah 40:13-Nehemiah : . Gedaliah’ s Peril.— Johanan warns Gedaliah of his danger from Ishmael, another of the newly-submitted leaders ( Jeremiah 41:1), alleged to be an agent of the king of Ammon ( Jeremiah 27:3). Gedaliah refuses to believe this, or to avail himself of Johanan’ s offer to kill Ishmael. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 40:14

Dost thou, for dost thou not; for not is plainly understood, as the sense makes evident. Whether this Baalis be a proper name of the king of the Ammonites, or, as some think, an appellative name, signifying the lady or the queen regent, is uncertain. What made the prince of the Ammonites do this can be but guessed; probably the old hatred they had to Israel, or hopes that they should have the better fishing in these waters when they were troubled. Gedaliah seems a man of a good humour, not too... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 40:15

Discerning that Gedaliah took no great notice of his word spoken to him in the presence of the other captains, he goeth to him secretly, offereth him his service to prevent the stroke, if he might have commission from him; mindeth him that if he did not value his own life, yet he ought to consider in what a condition the people would be in case he were cut off; they were now but a small remnant, and then that remnant also would perish. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 40:1-16

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—A purely historical chapter, of events following the city’s ruin. It records the out-gleaming of a ray of hope upon the appalling gloom which had befallen the land, in the appointment of Gedaliah as its governor; and also its quick extinction in the conspiracy of Ishmael, a prince of the royal family (chap. Jeremiah 40:1).Personal Allusions.—Jeremiah 40:5. “Gedaliah” (vide note on chap. Jeremiah 39:14).Jeremiah 40:8. “Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah.” The most... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 40:1-16

Chapter 40Now as we come into the fourth part of the book of Jeremiah, these are the prophecies of Jeremiah to the people after Zedekiah was carried away and the remnant of the people who stayed here in the land. They still did not take everybody. Remember he left the poor people in the land to just have the land. Take over the vineyards and everything else and you can just have it. So the poor of the people, the poor people were given the land. So this Jeremiah remained with them, and this is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 40:1-16

Jeremiah 40:1 . The word which came to Jeremiah bound in chains. This word is found in Jeremiah 42:9; and the intervening history is a parenthesis of Ishmael’s treason. Jeremiah was now about seventy two years of age. What a sight to see him brought out of prison loaded with a chain; a day of liberation to him, and of death and captivity to his enemies. Jeremiah 40:6 . Then went Jeremiah to Mizpah, to Gedaliah, a prince of David’s house, now made governor over the poor. Mizpah,... read more

Jer 40:15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know [it]: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish? Ver. 15. Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael. ] He offereth his service for the slaying of Ishmael, and it had been happy he had done it, sed immodico obsequio sibi... read more
