Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 41. - How is Sheshach taken! The Septuagint omits "Sheshach" (see, on the name, Jeremiah 25:26), and very possibly rightly.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(41) How is Sheshach taken!--"Sheshach," it will be remembered, is the cypher which, as explained in the Note on Jeremiah 25:26, stands for Babylon. Here, in the parallelism of Hebrew poetry, it balances the actual name of the city in the second clause of the verse. The word "surprised" is the same as that rendered "stopped" in Jeremiah 51:32.
