エレミヤ書 37:11-12 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 37:11-21

We have here a further account concerning Jeremiah, who relates more passages concerning himself than any other of the prophets; for the histories of the lives and sufferings of God's ministers have been very serviceable to the church, as well as their preaching and writing. I. We are here told that Jeremiah, when he had an opportunity for it, attempted to retire out of Jerusalem into the country (Jer. 37:11, 12): When the Chaldeans had broken up from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh's army, upon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 37:11

And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans were broken up from Jerusalem ,.... When the siege of the city was broken up and raised: or, when they "went up from Jerusalem" F3 בחעלות "cum recessisset", Cocceius; "ascendisset", Schmidt. ; were gone from it; for fear of Pharaoh's army ; or rather "because of Pharaoh's army" F4 מפני חיל "propter exercitum", Cocceius, Schmidt; "propter copias", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. . The word "fear" is not in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 37:12

Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem ,.... At least he attempted to do so, taking the opportunity of the siege of the city being broke up: what were his reasons for it are not certain; whether that he might not be put into prison, which he might fear for what he had just prophesied of concerning the return of the Chaldean army, that should take the city, and burn it; or to save himself from the destruction which he was sure would come upon it; or because he found he could do no good by... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 37:12

Jeremiah went forth - At the time that Nebuchadnezzar had raised the siege, and gone to meet the Egyptian army. Go into the land of Benjamin - To Anathoth, his native city. To separate himself thence - "To receive a portion thereof among the people;" - Blayney: who supposes that Jeremiah went to receive a portion of the proceeds of his patrimony at Anathoth, which had, previously to the siege, been in the hands of the Chaldeans. The siege being now raised, he thought of looking thus... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 37:12

Verse 12 Here Jeremiah tells us how, and on what occaision, he was cast into prison. He had said shortly before, that he was in the middle of the people, or among them; but now he gives an account of the cruelty of the princes, that they not only cast him into prison, but even into a grave, for they put him, as we shall see, in a dungeon, so that it was a miracle that he did not die there; and this was not done only once; but we shall hereafter see, before the end of the chapter, that he was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 37:11-16

The servant of God accused of treason. This attempt of Jeremiah's to go out of Jerusalem, whatever its special purpose may have been (as to this there is great diversity of view), was at once suspected of being treasonable, or, at any rate, it was made an occasion of accusing and punishing him. His asseverations were not listened to, but quickly and with much anger he was consigned to a loathsome prison, where he languished for many days. This teaches that— I. THOSE WHO ARE ... read more

Jeremiah imprisoned as a traitor. I. THE CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO THE IMPRISONMENT . Whatever interpretation we are to set on the ambiguous passage which gives the reason for Jeremiah's attempt to leave Jerusalem (verse 12)—whether it were to escape from the city, or to abandon a work that appeared to be fruitless for work in the country districts, or to take a possession at a redistribution of land in the sabbatical year, or to claim his share as a priest,—it is difficult to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 37:12

As soon as communication with the outside world was possible, Jeremiah took the opportunity of going to his native country, to obtain something or other which he could only obtain "thence." The Authorized Version says that his object was to separate himself thence. But read more
