Jeremiah 52
A repetition of the reign of Zedekiah: of the siege, taking, and
destruction of Jerusalem, with the causes thereof, and what farther
happened there, ver. 1-30. Evil-merodach advances Jehoiakim,
ver. 31-34.
Verse 2. Zedekiah - It is generally thought that this chapter was not
penned by Jeremiah, who, it is not probable, would have so
largely repeated what he had related before; and could not
historically relate what happened after his time, as some things
did which are mentioned towards the end of the chapter. Probably
it was penned by some of those in Babylon, and put in here as a
preface to the book of Lamentations.
Verse 24. Three - It is probable there were more keepers of the door, but
the captain of the guard took only three of the chief.
Verse 30. All the persons were four thousand and six hundred - How
amazingly were the Jews diminished, that this handful was all
who were carried captive!
Verse 34. All the days of his life - Here ends the history of the kingdom
of Judah. I shall only observe the severe judgment of God upon
this people, whose kingdom was made up of the two tribes of
Judah and Benjamin, and half the tribe of Manasseh. In the
numbering of the persons belonging to these two tribes, Num. i,
27, 35, 37, (counting half of the number of the tribe of Manasseh)
we find one hundred twenty-six thousand one hundred: Num.
xxvi, 22, 34, 41, we find of them one hundred forty-eight
thousand four hundred and fifty. Here, ver. lii, 30, we find no
more of them carried into captivity, than four thousand and six
hundred. From whence we may judge what a multitude of them
were slain by the sword, by the famine, and pestilence! It is a
dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, to mock his
messengers, despise his words, and misuse his prophets, 'till there
be no remedy, 2 Chron. xxxvi, 16.
