Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. . . .--It is clear that Nebuchadrezzar had been well informed of the part which Jeremiah had taken from first to last in counselling submission. This he may have heard from the deserters named in Jeremiah 39:9, or even from the lips of Zedekiah. Possibly the journey to Euphrates, of which we read in Jeremiah 13:5, may, at even an earlier period, have brought the king and the prophet into contact. From the time of Nebuzar-adan's arrival, the position of Jeremiah was obviously changed for the better, and he became an honoured and trusted counsellor. It appears from Jeremiah 40:1 that the prophet had at first been taken in chains to Ramah, with the other captives. Probably he had been sent back to Jerusalem when the others were carried off to Riblah, or Babylon (Jeremiah 39:6-9).Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewNow Nebuchadnezzarנְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּ֥ר (nə·ḇū·ḵaḏ·reṣ·ṣar)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 5019: Nebuchadnezzar -- 'Nebo, protect the boundary', a Babylonian kingkingמֶֽלֶךְ־ (me·leḵ-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4428: A kingof Babylonבָּבֶ֖ל (bā·ḇel)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 894: Babylon -- an eastern Mediterranean empire and its capital cityhad given ordersוַיְצַ֛ו (way·ṣaw)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 6680: To lay charge (upon), give charge (to), command, orderaboutעַֽל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstJeremiahיִרְמְיָ֑הוּ (yir·mə·yā·hū)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3414: Jeremiah -- 'Yah loosens', the name of a number of Israelitesthroughבְּיַ֛ד (bə·yaḏ)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 3027: A handNebuzaradanנְבוּזַרְאֲדָ֥ן (nə·ḇū·zar·’ă·ḏān)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 5018: Nebuzaradan -- 'Nebo has given seed', a Babylonian generalthe captainרַב־ (raḇ-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 7227: Much, many, greatof the guard,טַבָּחִ֖ים (ṭab·bā·ḥîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 2876: A butcher, a lifeguardsman, a cooksaying,לֵאמֹֽר׃ (lê·mōr)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 559: To utter, sayJump to PreviousArmed Babylon Captain Charge Chief Command Commanded Commander Executioners Guard Hand Imperial Jeremiah Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadrezzar Nebuchadrez'zar Nebuzaradan Nebu'zarad'an Nebuzar-Adan Orders
