Commentary on Jeremiah 13:18

Theological / Devotional

Queen. Heb. gebirah, here believed to refer to the queen mother, Nehushta, King Jehoiachin’s (Jeconiah’s) mother (see Jer. 29:2; 2 Kings 24:8). The same word, gebirah, is applied to the mother of Asa (see 1 Kings 15:13; 2 Chron. 15:16). That these queen mothers sometimes exerted great influence in the affairs of the kingdom is indicated by Athaliah’s usurpation of the supreme authority (see 2 Kings 11; see on Dan. 5:10).

Principalities. Literally, “head coverings.”
