Jeremiah 37:1-21

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

EXPOSITION

Nothing worthy of relation appears to have happened to Jeremiah till the latter period of the reign of Zedekiah. The first two verses of this chapter form the transition. The embassy to Jeremiah mentioned in verse 3 took place after the temporary withdrawal of the Chaldeans from Jerusalem.
