Commentary on Jeremiah 41:17

Theological / Devotional

Habitation. Heb. geruth, “a lodging place,” that is, an inn for travelers.

Chimham. Barzillai the Gileadite had shown kindness to David (2 Sam. 19:31-39), and because of this, David instructed Solomon to treat his son Chimham with every courtesy and care (see on 1 Kings 2:7). Probably Chimham was given this land near Bethlehem by the Hebrew king as his own, and this accounts for the name of the caravansary.
