Scripture focus

1. The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which [was] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. 2. For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which [was] in the king of Judah’s house. 3. For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; 4. And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes; 5. And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?

Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 32:1

Theological / Devotional

The tenth year. 588/87 B.C., in the midst of the final siege of Jerusalem (see on ch. 52:4). This synchronism between the 10th year of Zedekiah and the 18th of Nebuchadnezzar is one of the most valuable in the OT for the purposes of Bible chronology (see Vol. II, p. 160).

Nebuchadrezzar. Regarding this spelling see on Jer. 21:2; Dan. 1:1.
