Verse 21

21. In the twelfth year The fall of the city took place in the fourth month of the eleventh year (Jeremiah 39:2; Jeremiah 52:6).

Plumptre suggests that Baruch may have been sent by Jeremiah to bear these sad tidings to his brother prophet (compare Jeremiah 45:5), and Skinner thinks perhaps it was a captive “who had trudged the weary road to Babylon in chains under the escort of Nebuzaradan” (Jeremiah 39:9).
