Commentary on Jeremiah 44:30

Theological / Devotional

Pharaoh-hophra. This Egyptian king, known to the Greeks as Apries, reigned about 20 years (589-570 B.C.). Because of an army revolt he had to yield the throne to the army commander Amasis, better known by the Greek name Anrosis (see Vol. II, p. 91). Tradition has it that because Jeremiah condemned their course of action the Jews in Egypt stoned the prophet to death, although according to other traditions he survived until Nebuchadnezzar’s invasion of Egypt and was carried either to Babylon or back to Judah, where he died a natural death.
