耶利米书 49:26 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 49:23-27

The kingdom of Syria lay north of Canaan, as that of Edom lay south, and thither we must now remove and take a view of the approaching fate of that kingdom, which had been often vexatious to the Israel of God. Damascus was the metropolis of that kingdom, and the ruin of the whole is supposed in the ruin of that: yet Hamath and Arpad, two other considerable cities, are names (Jer. 49:23), and the palaces of Ben-hadad, which he built, are particularly marked for ruin, Jer. 49:27; see also Amos... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:26

Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets ,.... Or "verily" F15 לכן "certe", Gataker. so Jarchi interprets it as an oath; Jehovah swearing that so it should be; that her young men, her choice ones such who were the flower of the city, and on whom its future prosperity depended; these should fall by the sword of the Chaldeans in the streets of the city, when having entered, and taken it: and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord of hosts ;... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:26

Verse 26 Here the Prophet in a manner corrects himself, and declares, that though the ruin of Damascus would astonish all, yet it was certain; and so I explain the particle לכן,lacen It is regarded by the Hebrews as a particle assigning a reason — therefore, for this cause. They then think that a reason is here expressed why God had decreed to destroy that city, even because it had formerly made war with the Israelites, and then with the Jews, and thus it had not ceased to persecute the Church... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 49:23-27

The heading Concerning Damascus is too limited (like that of the partly parallel prophecy in Isaiah 17:1-11 ); for the prophecy relates, not only to Damascus, the capital of the kingdom of southeastern Aram (or Syria), but to Hamath, the capital of the northern kingdom. (The third of the Aramaean kingdoms, that of Zobah, had ceased to exist.) Damascus had already been threatened by Amos ( Amos 1:3-5 ), and by Isaiah ( Isaiah 17:1-11 ). We may infer from the prophecy that Damascus had... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 49:24-27

Jeremiah 49:24-27. Damascus is waxed feeble That is, the inhabitants of Damascus. They have lost their ancient courage and valour; they were wont to be formidable to their enemies, but now they flee before them. Fear, or rather, trembling, or, horror, as רשׂשׂ , properly signifies, hath seized on her, distress and pangs, Hebrew, צרה וחבלים , have taken her, as a woman in travail Great anguish and sorrow are ordinarily expressed by this similitude in the Scriptures. How is the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:23-27

A message concerning Damascus (49:23-27)Damascus was the capital of the country that in ancient times was known as Aram and later became known as Syria. The city had been conquered by Assyria in 732 BC (2 Kings 16:9), but when Jeremiah began his ministry it was still occupied, having become a provincial centre within the Assyrian Empire. Jeremiah now foresees that it is about to suffer the horrors of war and defeat again, because Babylon is about to conquer Assyria.This prophecy must have been... read more

F. The oracle against Damascus 49:23-27Perhaps this oracle is shorter because Damascus had not had the history of contact with Judah, in recent years, that the other nations mentioned in these oracles did. However, the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles document incessant hostilities between the Arameans and Israel and Judah-earlier in history. Damascus was the capital of Aram, and the leader of a coalition of Aramean city-states (cf. Isaiah 7:8). It stood about 150 miles north-northeast of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 49:26-27

When Yahweh destroyed the city, all her young soldiers would perish, and it would burn down (cf. Amos 1:4; Amos 1:14)-even the fortified towers named in honor of a number of great Aramean kings named "Ben-hadad" (lit. son of [the god] Hadad). Hadad was an Aramean storm god, the equivalent of the Canaanite Baal.Jeremiah indicated no reason for Yahweh’s destruction of Damascus. One of the major reasons for divine judgment on all the nations and groups mentioned in these oracles, though not stated... read more
