Teks -- Jeremiah 1:3 (NET)

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Jer 1:3 - It

The word of the Lord.

Wesley: Jer 1:3 - Jehoiakim

Called at first by Josiah, Eliakim. Jehoahaz and Jehoiakin, whereof the former reigned before him, the latter succeeded, are conceived not to be mentioned, because they reigned each of them but three months, and therefore not considerable.

Wesley: Jer 1:3 - Of Jerusalem

The inhabitants of Jerusalem, under Zedekiah, during all which time Jeremiah prophesied.

Wesley: Jer 1:3 - Captive

This does not terminate the time of his prophecies; for he prophesied also both in Judea, and in Egypt afterwards: but only relates to what he prophesied while the city and temple were standing, the rest seeming to be added as a supplement.

Wesley: Jer 1:3 - Fifth month

Of that present year; for, tho' the year end not at the fifth month, yet it might end the year of Zedekiah's reign, because he might begin his reign at the fifth month of the year.

JFB: Jer 1:2-3 - Jehoiakim . . . Josiah . . . Zedekiah

Jehoahaz and Jehoiachin are omitted for they reigned only three months each. The first and last of the kings under whom each prophet prophesied are often thus specified in the general title. See on these kings, and Jeremiah's life, my Introduction.

JFB: Jer 1:2-3 - thirteenth . . . of his reign

(Jer 25:3).

JFB: Jer 1:2-3 - fifth month

(2Ki 25:8).

Clarke: Jer 1:1-3 - The words of Jeremiah

The words of Jeremiah - These three verses are the title of the Book; and were probably added by Ezra when he collected and arranged the sacred books, and put them in that order in which they are found in Hebrew Bibles in general. For particulars relative to this prophet, the times of his prophesying, and the arrangement of his discourses, see the introduction

Clarke: Jer 1:1-3 - Eleventh year of Zedekiah

Eleventh year of Zedekiah - That is, the last year of his reign; for he was made prisoner by the Chaldeans in the fourth month of that year, and the carrying away of the inhabitants of Jerusalem was in the fifth month of the same year.

Calvin: Jer 1:3 - NO PHRASE

As to the beginning of his time and its termination, it has been briefly shewn, why he says that he had been chosen a prophet in the thirteenth year of Josiah, and that he discharged his office till the eleventh year of Zedekiah.

Now that Josiah is called the son of Amon, it is doubtful whether Josiah was properly his son. Amon began to reign in his twenty-second year, and reigned only two years. Josiah succeeded him in the eighth year of his age. If we number the years precisely, Josiah must have been born when Amon was in his sixteenth year; but it does not appear likely, that Amon was a father when he was sixteen years of age, for in this case he must have begotten a son in his fifteenth year; as the birth must have taken place nine months after. Then Josiah must have been begotten in the fifteenth year of Amon’s age. It is hence a probable conclusion, that he was a son by law and not by nature, according to what is afterwards said of Zedekiah, that he was Josiah’s son, because he was his successor, while he was, as many think, his nephew, a brother’s son. But it was a common thing to call the successors of kings their sons, who were their sons by law, and not, as I have said, by nature. It now follows-

TSK: Jer 1:3 - It came also // unto the end // in the fifth

It came also : Jer 25:1-3, 26:1-24, 35:1-36:32; 2Ki 24:1-9; 2Ch 36:5-8

unto the end : Jer. 21:1-22:30, 28:1-29:32, 34:1-22, 37:1-39:18, 52:1-34; 2Ki 24:17-20; 2Kings 25:1-30; 2Ch 36:11-21

in the fifth : Jer 52:12, Jer 52:15; 2Ki 25:8; Zec 7:5, Zec 8:19

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Jer 1:3 - It // came also in the days of Jehoiakim // Zedekiah // Unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive // In the fifth month

It viz. the word of the Lord, as Jer 1:2 ,

came also in the days of Jehoiakim called at first by Josiah, Eliakim, 2Ki 23:34 . Jehoahaz and Jehoiachin, whereof the former reigned before him, 2Ki 23:31 , the latter succeeded, 2Ki 24:8 , are conceived not to be mentioned, because they reigned but each of them three months, and therefore not considerable, the Scripture often taking little notice of a small time, as of six months: compare 2Sa 5:5 , with 1Ki 2:11 : see Jer 1:2 .

Zedekiah of whom read 1Ch 3:15,16 .

Unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive i.e. the inhabitants of Jerusalem, namely, under Zedekiah, 2Ki 25:11 , during all which time, things standing in that state and condition, Jeremiah prophesied. This doth not terminate the time of his prophecies, for he prophesied also both in Judea, and in Egypt afterwards; but only relates to what he prophesied while the city and temple were standing, the rest seeming rather to be added as a supplement, than to be reduced unto this general title of his prophecies.

In the fifth month viz. of that present year; for though the year end not at the fifth month, yet it might end the year of Zedekiah’ s reign, because he might begin his reign at the fifth month of the year.

Haydock: Jer 1:3 - Joakim // Fifth

Joakim. His immediate predecessor and successor, both called Jechonias, (Haydock) are passed over, as their reign was short, (Calmet) only lasting three months each. (Haydock) ---

Fifth. Jerusalem was taken on the 9th of the preceding month. But the temple was not burnt, nor the captives sent off till the fifth month, or the 10th of the civil year, chap. xxxix. 8., and lii. 13., and 4 Kings xxv. 2. (Calmet) ---

Jeremias also prophesied in Egypt, chap. xliv. (Worthington) ---

But this title alludes to his principal predictions. (Menochius)

Gill: Jer 1:3 - And it came also in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of Judah // unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah // even unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month

And it came also in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of Judah,.... In the beginning of his reign, and in the fourth year of his reign; see Jer 25:1, no mention is made of Jehoahaz, who reigned between Josiah and Jehoiakim, because his reign was short, but three months, 2Ki 23:31, and perhaps no word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in his time, though it did before and after:

unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah; so that Jeremiah must prophesy in the land of Judea upwards of forty years; eighteen under Josiah, 2Ki 22:11, three months under Jehoahaz, 2Ki 23:31 eleven years under Jehoiakim, 2Ki 23:36, three months under Jeconiah, 2Ki 24:8, and eleven years under Zedekiah, when the city was besieged and taken, 2Ki 25:2. Josiah had three sons as kings of Judah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, and Zedekiah, under all whom Jeremiah prophesied:

even unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month: the month Ab, which answers to part of July and part of August; and it was on the ninth or tenth day of this month that the city of Jerusalem was burnt, and the people carried captive, 2Ki 25:8 the ninth of the said month is now kept by the Jews as a fast on that account.
