エレミヤ書 52:8-9 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 52:1-11

This narrative begins no higher than the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, though there were two captivities before, one in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the other in the first of Jeconiah; but probably it was drawn up by some of those that were carried away with Zedekiah, as a reproach to themselves for imagining that they should not go into captivity after their brethren, with which hopes they had long flattered themselves. We have here, 1. God's just displeasure against Judah and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 52:8

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king ,.... Not finding him in his palace, and being informed of his flight, and which way he took: and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho : See Gill on Jeremiah 39:5 ; and all his army was scattered from him ; when they saw the enemy pursuing them, and near unto them, they left him, as Josephus F17 Ibid. (Antiqu. l. 10. c. 8. sect. 2. Ed. Hudson.) says, and shifted for themselves. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 52:9

Then they took the king ,.... King Zedekiah, being left alone, excepting some few with him: and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath ; which is supposed to be Antioch in Syria: where he gave judgment upon him ; or "spake with him judgments" F18 וידבר אתו משפטים "qui cum eo locutus est judicia", Schmidt. So Cocceius. : chided and reproached him for his perfidy and ingratitude; expostulated and reasoned with him upon this subject, exposing... read more

Days whose duties are indelible. Note the particularity of the dates given in each of these verses. Not the year only, but the month; and not the month only, but the day; and sometimes not the day only, but the hour, whether morning or evening, during the light or dark. Now— I. THERE ARE SUCH DAYS . In the record of the Flood we have such exactness of date. And in the later history of Jerusalem, the story of its decline and fall under its last kings, we again and again, as in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 52:4-34

The march of doom. These verses tell of the awful progress of the judgment of God on the doomed city of Jerusalem, her king, and people. To all who imagine that God is too full of love and graciousness to sternly judge and punish men, the contemplation of the events told of here may be painful, but assuredly they will be salutary also. We are shown the Babylonian armies gathering round the city; the long and dreadful siege; the gaunt famine that fastens upon the besieged; the walls broken... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 52:8

Zedekiah's army scattered. Zedekiah's aim was to keep his army together, for as long as he could do that there was a chance of averting the evil day, and perhaps in the end escaping it altogether. But without his army he was utterly helpless. He could not bring himself to heed Jeremiah's counsels, doing the right and putting his trust in Jehovah. And so when the army was gone everything was gone. Nothing remained but random, desperate attempts at flight, and the certainty of ultimate... read more

The fate of Zedekiah. I. THE CAUSES WHICH LED TO THE FATE OF ZEDEKIAH . 1 . The general calamity of his nation. The king suffers with his people. Unfortunately it too often happens that an innocent people is punished for the fault of its sovereign. We must not be surprised if the converse is sometimes true. We are all members one of another. Not only kings, but in a less degree private individuals, must expect to share the troubles of the community, apart from the... read more
