The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 37:13

The gate of Benjamin; i.e. the gate looking northwards towards Benjamin (comp. Jeremiah 20:2 ; Jeremiah 38:7 ; Zechariah 14:10 ). It appears to be the same as the gate of Ephraim ( 2 Kings 14:13 ; Nehemiah 8:16 ). Thou fallest away, etc. Perhaps an allusion to Jeremiah's declaration ( Jeremiah 21:9 ) that "he that falleth away to the Chaldeans … he shall live," read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 37:13

Falsely accused. Our Lord Jesus said, "It is sufficient for the servant that he be as his Master." Now, as he was falsely accused, so here we find his servant likewise. Note— I. TO BE FALSELY ACCUSED IS THE COMMON LOT OF GOD 'S PEOPLE . How many instances we have!—Abel, Joseph, Moses, David, etc. Because of such slanders the psalmist said, "All men are liars." And here the Prophet Jeremiah, having no thought of deserting his countrymen, is nevertheless accused of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 37:7-10

Jeremiah’s answer here is even more unfavorable than that which is given in Jeremiah 21:4-7. So hopeless is resistance that the disabled men among the Chaldaeans would alone suffice to capture the city and burn it to the ground. read more

To separate himself thence ... - To receive a share thence. When the siege was temporarily raised, the first object would be food, and, accordingly, Jeremiah accompanied by others, who, like himself, had a right to share in the produce of the priests’ lands at Anathoth, started there to see whether any stores remained which might be available for their common use. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 37:1-21

Jeremiah imprisoned (37:1-21)Having dealt with events in the reign of Jehoiakim in the previous two chapters, the story now returns to the reign of Zedekiah. As in the case of Jehoiakim, Zedekiah ignored the warnings of God’s prophets (37:1-2).During Babylon’s final great siege of Jerusalem, Egypt sent an army to help the Jerusalemites. When the Egyptians approached, the Babylonians lifted the siege and went to deal with the new threat elsewhere. Zedekiah sent a message to Jeremiah, asking him... read more
