Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 37:13

Theological / Devotional

Gate of Benjamin. This is usually identified with the Sheep Gate in the northeast corner of Jerusalem.

Irijah. Probably the brother of Jehucal (see v. 3).

Thou fallest away. Apparently Irijah’s charge that Jeremiah was guilty of treachery was based upon the supposition that the prophet intended to slip away to the Babylonian camp to join the enemy.
