Commentaries on Jeremiah 52:30
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 24-30Verses 24-30 The leaders of the Jews caused them to err; but now they are, in particular, made monuments of Divine justice. Here is an account of two earlier captivities. This people often were wonders both of judgment and mercy.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 28-30The numbers in these verses add to the information in 2 Kings 24:14–16 about the exile in 597 BC. The deportation in Jeremiah 52:30 is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. It was likely a Babylonian response to Gedaliah’s murder (Jeremiah 41:1–3). This suggests that the person or people who made this adaptation lived after 581 BC, probably in Babylon.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3030. Not recorded in Kings or Chronicles. Probably it took place during the commotions that followed the death of Gedaliah (Jr 41:18; 2Ki 25:26). four thousand and six hundred--The exact sum-total of the numbers specified here, namely, three thousand twenty-three, eight hundred thirty-two, seven hundred forty-five, not including the general multitude and the women and children (Jr 52:15; Jr 39:9; 2Ki 25:11).Read the comment
