The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 37:11-21

Jeremiah's Arrest and Imprisonment v. 11. And it came to pass that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem, withdrawing for the time being in order to await developments or call for reinforcements, for fear of Pharaoh's army, so that the land, for a little while, was clear of enemies, v. 12. then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, the country of his own tribe, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people, literally, "to make a... read more

Jeremiah THE WORLD’S WAGES TO A PROPHET Jer_37:11 - Jer_37:21 . SOME sixteen years had passed since Jehoiakim had burned the roll, during all of which the slow gathering of the storm, which was to break over the devoted city, had been going on, and Jeremiah had been vainly calling on the people to return to Jehovah. The last agony was now not far off. But there came a momentary pause in the siege, produced by the necessity of an advance against a relieving army from Egypt, which created... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 37:1-21

This and the two following chapters contain the history of the siege up to the fall of the city. In the first part of this chapter Jeremiah was free. Zedekiah occupied the throne, but was disobedient to the messages of Jehovah. Pharaoh's army had come out of Egypt, and, believing that the movement of Pharaoh was directed against themselves, the Chaldeans who were besieging the city departed for a season. Then Jeremiah delivered a message to Zedekiah, charging him not to be deceived by the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 37:1-21

The Disobedience Of Judah And Its King Is Highlighted By Their Treatment Of The Prophet Of YHWH (Jeremiah 37:1 to Jeremiah 38:28 ). These events once again took place during the reign of Zedekiah, the final king of Judah before the exile. Along with Jeremiah 34:1-7 this passage forms an inclusio for this subsection on disobedience, paralleling the similar inclusio in chapters 21-24, which brings out that the final intention of the prophecy at this stage is to concentrate on the destruction... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 37:16-21

After Having Spent Some Time In Prison Jeremiah Was Summoned To Appear Before King Zedekiah Who Secretly Sought His Counsel, Giving Jeremiah The Opportunity To Appeal Against His Situation. As A Result He Was Transferred To The Prison In The Palace-Complex Which Was For Important State Prisoners Where He Was Better Treated (Jeremiah 37:16-21 ). Having been put in prison under unpleasant circumstances it appears that Jeremiah was badly treated, for he would later speak to the king of the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 37:11-21

Jeremiah 37:11-Ecclesiastes : . Jeremiah, during the interval in the siege, is leaving the city by a northern gate on private business (perhaps connected with the earlier incident of Jeremiah 32:6 ff.), when he is arrested by the officer on duty under charge of desertion (plausible in view of Jeremiah 21:9; cf. Jeremiah 38:19). His denial is disregarded, and he is beaten and imprisoned by the princes (those friendly to him, cf. Jeremiah 26:16, Jeremiah 36:19, were now probably exiles).... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 37:17

Is there any word from the Lord? that is, Hath God revealed any thing to thee, concerning what will be the issue of the return of the Chaldean army to the siege of the city? What needed Zedekiah to have asked this, to whom God by this prophet had so often revealed his will in this case? Wicked men are always more curious to know, than careful to believe, observe, and obey the will of God. But God seldom or never speaketh good unto them: Jeremiah tells him there was, but it was a sad word, viz.... read more

That is, What have I done worthy of bonds? I have faithfully heretofore revealed to you the mind and will of God; if this hath offended you, I am not to be blamed, I could not but execute God’s commands. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 37:19

You now see what kind of prophets they are, who fed you with hopes that the king of Babylon’s army should return no more to the siege of the city. I told you they would return, you had other prophets that told you they should not, judge now who were the true prophets. The devil in all ages had some that contradicted the true prophets of the Lord. Three hundred false prophets contradicted one Micaiah, as to Ahab’s going up to Ramoth-gilead, and prospering in that expedition. There were many that... read more
