耶利米書 32:1-2 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-15

It appears by the date of this chapter that we are now coming very nigh to that fatal year which completed the desolations of Judah and Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. God's judgments came gradually upon them, but, they not meeting him by repentance in the way of his judgments, he proceeded in his controversy till all was laid waste, which was in the eleventh year of Zedekiah; now what is here recorded happened in the tenth. The king of Babylon's army had now invested Jerusalem and was carrying on... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord ,.... The word of prophecy, as the Targum, concerning Jeremiah's buying the field of his uncle's son, Jeremiah 32:6 ; and concerning the delivery of the city of Jerusalem into the hands of the Chaldeans, Jeremiah 32:26 ; and the return of the captivity, Jeremiah 32:36 ; in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar ; the same with Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, a year before the taking of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:2

For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem ,.... And had done so for some time; for the siege began in the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Jeremiah 52:4 ; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house ; which showed great stupidity and hardness of heart in the king, and his courtiers, and in the people, to imprison a prophet of the Lord, when surrounded by an enemy's army, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:1

The word that came - This prophecy bears its own date: it was delivered in the tenth year of Zedekiah, which answered to the eighteenth of Nebuchadnezzar. It appears from 2 Kings 25:8 , that the eleventh year of Zedekiah was the nineteenth of Nebuchadnezzar; and consequently, that the eighteenth of that monarch must have been the tenth of the Jewish king. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:2

Then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem - The siege had commenced the year before, and continued a year after ending in the fifth month of the following year; consequently, the siege must have lasted about eighteen months and twenty-seven days. See 2 Kings 25:18 . read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:1

Verse 1 The Prophet here declares, that though he was shut up in prison, the Word of God was not bound, and that he himself was not less loose and free in his confinement than if he rambled through the whole city and visited all the lanes and the streets. He then did not desist from his office as a Prophet, though he was cast into prison. And thus we see that the course of heavenly truth cannot be impeded, how much soever the world may rage against all its ministers, and bind them in order to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:2

Verse 2 He points out then the circumstances of that time, and not without reason, when he says, that he was then shut up in prison, and also mentions the year, even the tenth of Zedekiah and the eighteenth of king Nebuchadnezar. (59) It was about the end of the ninth year that the army of Nebuchadnezar came up to Jerusalem; the city was besieged for two months in that year. The tenth year followed, in which this vision was given to the Prophet. The siege continued for a year and a half; but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-5

Time and circumstances of the following revelation. It took place in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the eighteenth of Nebuchadnezzar (comp. Jeremiah 25:1 ; Jeremiah 52:12 ). The siege of Jerusalem had Begun in the preceding year ( Jeremiah 39:1 ), but had been temporarily raised on the approach of an Egyptian army ( Jeremiah 37:5 , Jeremiah 37:11 ). Jeremiah, who had declared resistance hopeless, had been accused of treason, and imprisoned ( Jeremiah 37:13 ), and in prison he remained... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-5

Silencing a prophet. A short time before an attempt was made upon his life; now it is imagined that the prophet will yield to harsh treatment and intimidation. The natural heart of man is so foolish that it cannot but credit man with the authorship of Divine truth, and suppose that he can control and modify the inspired messages of God. Nay, the sinner is often so left to himself as to suppose that his own precautions will prevent the communications of God's Spirit, or at least the... read more
