Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 43:4

Johanan, the guerrilla commanders, and all the refugees did not obey Yahweh’s instruction to stay in the land. "All the people" in view here, must refer to all the people in this group of Judahites near Bethlehem, not all the people still in the land. Many Judeans remained in the land and did not go to Egypt. Here was a final moment of opportunity for the Judahites still in the land, but they continued to reject the Lord’s instructions. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 43:2

XLIII.(2) Azariah the son of Hoshaiah.—The LXX., it will be remembered, gives this name in Jeremiah 42:1, where the Hebrew has Jezaniah. Possibly, however, as suggested above, the two names represent brothers who were both prominent as leaders of the people. Here, we may note, he takes precedence of Johanan, probably as the chief spokesman of the prevailing discontent. The special mention of “all the proud men” suggests the thought that there were some who, left to themselves, would have been... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 43:3

(3) Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us.—This was the solution which presented itself to the suspicions of the murmurers. The prophet’s amanuensis had become his leader, and was making use of him as a tool for the furtherance of his own designs, and those designs were to court the favour of the conqueror by delivering the remnant of the people into his hands. The warning of Jeremiah 45:5 may perhaps be taken as an indication that there was a certain ambition and love of eminence... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 43:1-13

CHAPTER XIVTHE DESCENT INTO EGYPTJeremiah 42:1-22 Jeremiah 43:1-13"They came into the land of Egypt, for they obeyed not the voice of Jehovah."- Jeremiah 43:7THUS within a few days Jeremiah had experienced one of those sudden and extreme changes of fortune which are as common in his career as in a sensational novel. Yesterday the guide, philosopher, and friend of the governor of Judah, today sees him once more a helpless prisoner in the hands of his old enemies. Tomorrow he is restored to... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 43:1-13

CHAPTER 43 1. The rebellion against Jeremiah (Jeremiah 43:1-7 ) 2. Jeremiah’s prediction about the conquest of Egypt (Jeremiah 43:8-13 ) Jeremiah 43:1-7 . No sooner had Jeremiah finished communicating the divine answer, but the captains and the proud men denounced him. They charged him that he spoke falsely, that all he had said was at the instigation of Baruch, that both were traitors. Then the leaders did not obey the voice of the Lord to dwell in the land; they took the remnant of Judah... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 43:2

43:2 Then spoke {a} Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the {b} proud men, saying to Jeremiah, {c} Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath {d} not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:(a) Who was also called Jezaniah, Jeremiah 42:1 .(b) This declares that pride is the cause of rebellion and contempt of God’s ministers.(c) When the hypocrisy of the wicked is discovered, they burst forth into open rage: for they can abide nothing but flattery,... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 43:3

43:3 But Baruch the son of Neriah {e} setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.(e) Thus the wicked not only contemn and hurt the messengers of God, but slander and speak wickedly of all them that support or favour the godly. read more
