Cross-References
Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (Haran's son), and his daughter-in-law Sarai (Abram's wife) and moved out of Ur of Babylonia. They had planned to go to the land of Canaan, but when they reached the city of Haran, they settled there.
Abraham said to his oldest servant, who was in charge of everything he owned, "Put your hand under my leg.
Instead, go back to my country, to the land of my relatives, and get a wife for my son Isaac."
The servant said to him, "What if this woman does not want to return with me to this land? Then, should I take your son with me back to your homeland?"
Abraham said to him, "No! Don't take my son back there.
If the girl won't come back with you, you will be free from this promise. But you must not take my son back there."
So the servant put his hand under his master's leg and made a promise to Abraham about this.
The servant took ten of Abraham's camels and left, carrying with him many different kinds of beautiful gifts. He went to Northwest Mesopotamia to Nahor's city.
After the camels had finished drinking, he gave Rebekah a gold ring weighing one-fifth of an ounce and two gold arm bracelets weighing about four ounces each.
He asked, "Who is your father? Is there a place in his house for me and my men to spend the night?"
Gill's Notes on the Bible
At that time,.... When Jehoiachin reigned:
when the year was expired; so it is in 2 Chronicles 36:10 or at the revolution of the year; which some take to be autumn, the beginning of the civil year with the Jews; but rather it was the spring, the time when kings went out to battle, 2 Samuel 11:1
the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem; that is, his army, under proper generals and officers, and by his orders:
and the city was besieged; in form by the Chaldean army.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Came up against Jerusalem - The cause and circumstances of this siege are equally obscure. Perhaps Nebuchadnezzar detected Jehoiachin in some attempt to open communications with Egypt.
