Commentary on Jeremiah 43:10

Theological / Devotional

Nebuchadnezzar. Regarding this spelling see on Dan. 1:1.

Spread his royal pavilion. Some understand this to be a reference to the royal canopy spread over the temporary throne. Others understand this “pavilion” to be the leather covering placed over the platform under the throne, upon which criminals knelt to receive the death stroke. The latter is favored by the LXX rendering: “and he shall lift up weapons against them.” This view agrees with the prophetic forecast that when Nebuchadnezzar came to Egypt he would be God’s avenger to execute His wrath against His rebellious people.
