Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 43:1-7

Jeremiah 42:1 to Jeremiah 43:7 . The Migration into Egypt.— Jeremiah is asked by the leaders ( Jeremiah 42:1 mg., with LXX) and the people to seek Yahweh’ s guidance, which they solemnly ( Jeremiah 42:5 mg.) promise to follow ( Jeremiah 42:1-Joshua :).

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 43:5

This resolution they presently put in practice. Though it is certain that Jeremiah and Baruch were not willing to go along with them, and probably that many of the people were not willing, yet these rebellious captains forced them all along with them, so as many of them were now a kind of prisoners to their own countrymen. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 43:1-13

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—Continuous with the preceding.2. National Affairs.—The miserable “remnant” (Jeremiah 43:5-6) left by Nebuchadnezzar, now controlled by wilful men, were led away to Egypt, and reach Tahpanhes (Jeremiah 43:7).3. Contemporaneous History.—Probably, in Egypt, at this very time Pharaoh’s palace was in course of erection; for the mention (Jeremiah 43:9) of the “brick-kiln” and “clay” [i.e. mortar] “at the entry of Pharaoh’s house” implies... read more

Chapter 43So it came to pass, when Jeremiah was through speaking to all of the people the words of Jehovah their God, then spake Azariah, and Johanan, and all of the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, You're speaking falsely: Jehovah our God has not sent you to say, Don't go to Egypt to dwell there ( Jeremiah 43:1-2 ):Now here they came and said, "Please pray to God, we beg you, pray to God for us, you know.

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 43:1-13

Jeremiah 43:3 . Baruch setteth thee on against us, in our purpose to seek an asylum in Egypt. Jeremiah’s character as a prophet, having received the seals of providence, they durst not deny him the glory, but artfully threw the blame on Baruch. Jeremiah 43:7 . Tahpanhes, is Pelusium, and called Hanes in Isaiah 30:4. It was the frontier fortress of Egypt, and is now the residence of the court. It is by others called Daphnæ. Jeremiah 43:13 . Bethshemesh, the house of the sun, which... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 43:4

Jer 43:4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah. Ver. 4. So Johanan the son of Kareah, &c. ] Nothing is more audacious and desperate than a hypocrite when once discovered.
