Jeremiah 52:11

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 52:11

Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah ,.... After he had seen his children and princes executed, which must be very terrible to him; See Gill on Jeremiah 39:7 ; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon ; in Jeremiah 39:7 ; it is said, he bound him, "to carry him" there; here it is affirmed he did carry him thither: and it is added, and put him in prison till the day of his death ; from this place only we learn that King Zedekiah was put into a... read more

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 fate of Zedekiah. I. THE CAUSES WHICH LED TO THE FATE OF ZEDEKIAH . 1 . The general calamity of his nation. The king suffers with his people. Unfortunately it too often happens that an innocent people is punished for the fault of its sovereign. We must not be surprised if the converse is sometimes true. We are all members one of another. Not only kings, but in a less degree private individuals, must expect to share the troubles of the community, apart from the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 52:8-11

The irony of a name. These verses tell of King Zedekiah—of the tragedy of Zedekiah, we might say, for never was there a tragedy more terrible than that in which he bore the chief part. But think of his name—"Jehovah our Righteousness." "As the last note of Jeremiah's dirge ever Jehoiachin died away, he had burst forth into one of those strains of hope, in which he had represented the future ruler of Israel as the righteousness or justice of Jehovah (cf. Jeremiah 23:5-7 ). It may be that,... read more

Zedekiah's fate. Here is a triple bondage—the bondage of blindness, fetters, and imprisonment. Truly a dreadful doom! Look— I. AT THE CAUSE OF IT . 1 . The cause so far as it lies in his own conduct. There was no need for him to accept a throne as viceroy for Babylon, but, having done so, he had entered into an implied covenant. No wonder that the King of Babylon took special care to stamp such conduct in a peculiar way. 2 . The cause so far as it lies in the... read more
