Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 52:25

Jeremiah 52:25. An eunuch— An officer. So it is read in the parallel places. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 52:32

Jeremiah 52:32. And set his throne above the throne of the kings, &c.— And set his seat above the seat of the kings. This may easily be understood to signify, that the king of Babylon shewed him more respect and honour than he did to any of the other captive princes, by placing him nearest himself. See Esther 3:1. It is probable, the phrase may have proceeded from the custom of placing cushions for persons of more than ordinary distinction in the place allotted them to sit in. See Harmer's... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:12

12. tenth day—But in :-, it is said "the seventh day." Nebuzara-dan started from Riblah on the "seventh" day and arrived in Jerusalem on the "tenth" day. Seeming discrepancies, when cleared up, confirm the genuineness of Scripture; for they show there was no collusion between the writers; as in all God's works there is latent harmony under outward varieties. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:13

13. all the houses . . . and all the houses of the great—the "and" defines what houses especially are meant, namely, the houses of the great men. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:15

15. poor of . . . people—added to the account in 2 Kings 25:11. "The poor of the people" are of the city, as distinguished from "the poor of the land," that is, of the country. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:17

17. brake—that they might be more portable. Fulfilling the prophecy ( :-). See 1 Kings 7:15; 1 Kings 7:23; 1 Kings 7:27; 1 Kings 7:50. Nothing is so particularly related here as the carrying away of the articles in the temple. The remembrance of their beauty and preciousness heightens the bitterness of their loss and the evil of sin which caused it. brass . . . brazen—rather "copper . . . of copper." read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:19

19. of gold in gold—implying that the articles were of solid gold and silver respectively, not of a different metal inside, or alloyed [GROTIUS]. Whole: not breaking them as was done to the "brass" (Jeremiah 52:17). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:20

20. bulls . . . under the bases—But the bulls were not "under the bases," but under the sea (1 Kings 7:25; 1 Kings 7:27; 1 Kings 7:38); the ten bases were not under the sea, but under the ten lavers. In English Version, "bases," therefore, must mean the lower parts of the sea under which the bulls were. Rather, translate, "the bulls were in the place of (that is, 'by way of'; so the Hebrew, 1 Kings 7:38- :), bases," or supports to the sea [BUXTORF]. So the Septuagint. 1 Kings 7:38- : omits the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:21

21. eighteen cubits—but in :-, it is "thirty-five cubits." The discrepancy is thus removed. Each pillar was eighteen common cubits. The two together, deducting the base, were thirty-five, as stated in :- [GROTIUS]. Other ways (for example, by reference to the difference between the common and the sacred cubit) are proposed: though we are not able positively to decide now which is the true way, at least those proposed do show that the discrepancies are not irreconcilable. read more
