Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:31-34

31-34 See this history of king Jehoiachin in 2 Kings 25:27-30. Those under oppression will find it is not in vain for them to hope and quietly to wait for the salvation of the Lord. Our times are in God's hand, for the hearts of all we have to deal with are so. May we be enabled, more and more, to rest on the Rock of Ages, and to look forward with holy faith to that hour, when the Lord will bring again Zion, and overthrow all the enemies of the church. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 52:16-34

Disposition of the Spoil and of the Captives v. 16. But Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard, left certain of the poor of the land, of those who had no possessions in money or goods, for vine-dressers and for husbandmen, so that the country would not revert to a wilderness on account of total neglect. v. 17. Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, on either aide of the main entrance of the Sanctuary, 1 Kings 7:15, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the... read more

5. THE FAVORABLE TURN IN THE FATE OF JEHOIACHINJeremiah 52:31-343127And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up 32the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison, and spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were 33with him in Babylon, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

The last chapter of the Book of Jeremiah consists of a historical appendix written, as the final words of the previous chapter show, by another hand. It first gives a brief account of the capture of the city, tracing the main events which led up thereto in the reign of Zedekiah, and giving the account of how he was arrested, compelled to look on the execution of his sons, had his own eyes put out, and was carried in fetters to Babylon, where he abode in prison until his death. It then... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

An Account Of The Taking And Destruction Of Jerusalem Which Is Then Followed By The Part Restoration Of The Davidic King (Jeremiah 52:1-34 ). In this narrative, which on the whole is a repetition of 2 Kings 24:18 to 2 Kings 25:30, there appear to be certain emphases: · King Zedekiah, and the people with him, ‘did what was evil in the sight of YHWH’. This phrase always indicates participation in idolatry and gross disobedience to the covenant. It explains all that follows (Jeremiah 52:2). ·... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:31-34

The Restoration Of Jehoiachin To A Position Of Honour (Jeremiah 52:31-34 ). When Nebuchadrezzar crushed the rebellion of Jehoiakim in 597 BC, with Jehoiachin coming to the throne as the Davidic king while the final days of the siege were in progress, he took the 18 year old Jehoiachin back to Babylon where he was imprisoned, replacing him on the throne with his father’s half-brother Zedekiah (2 Kings 24:8-17). Now Nebuchadrezzar’s son Evil Merodach (Amel-Marduk) would release Jehoiachin from... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Jeremiah 52. Historical Appendix.— This is taken from 2 Kings 24:18 ff., and gives an account of the capture of Jerusalem, etc., in 586, i.e. of the fulfilment of Jeremiah’ s repeated declarations. Except for Jeremiah 52:28-Amos :, this chapter has been taken, virtually verbatim, from its source, which should be consulted for the commentary (see mgg.) . The differences of text are of minor importance, e.g. the addition here of Jeremiah 52:10 b, and the last clause of Jeremiah 52:11, the... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 52:31

Jehoiachin began his reign at eighteen years of age, 2 Kings 24:8, and reigned but three months, but that he yielded himself to the king of Babylon besieging him, Jeremiah 52:12, in the eighth year of the king of Babylon’s reign. He was a prisoner in Babylon, (as appeareth by this text,) in which circumstances he continued (as appears from this text) about thirty years; which was during the whole reign of Nebuchadrezzar, sometimes called Nebuchadnezzar, sometimes Nebuchodonosor. Evil-merodach... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 52:32

The king of Babylon might have other kings his prisoners, his father having been so great a conqueror, or he might have other kings his subjects, that might reside at his court; and either out of a particular kindness he had to Jehoiachin, or in regard of the fame of David and Solomon, from whom Jehoiachin lineally descended, he might do him this honour. read more
