Jeremiah 52:6 NIV

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

And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month ,.... The month Tammuz F15 T. Bab.

The siege and capture of Jerusalem. I. GENERAL LESSONS OF THE SIEGE . 1 . God will perform his threats. The capture of Jerusalem had been long and frequently predicted. The accumulated prophecies were now fulfilled. 2 . Delay of judgment is no reason for expecting it to be permanently withheld. The fate of Jerusalem seemed to be long postponed. But at length it came. 3 . Previous immunity is no security for the future. The Jews fondly idolized Jerusalem as a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 52:4-12

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 52:6

Famine. One of the most frightful that over befell any city is told of here. Its ghastly details may be traced out from this verse and different parts of the writings of Jeremiah and Ezekiel. This verse tells how the store of bread gradually failed; Jeremiah 37:21 and 38:29 with what difficulty ever so little was gained (also Ezekiel 5:16 ; Ezekiel 5:16 ; Ezekiel 12:19 ) Then Lamentations 4:7 and Lamentations 5:10 tell of the sufferings of the nobles; Lamentations 4:5 and ... read more
