Contextual Overview
1 These messages about different nations came to Jeremiah the prophet from the Lord . 2 This message is about the nation of Egypt. It is about the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt. His army was defeated at the town of Carchemish. Carchemish is on the Euphrates River. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated the army of Pharaoh Neco at Carchemish in the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah. The Lord said, 3 "Get your large and small shields ready. March out for battle. 4 Get the horses ready. Soldiers, get on your horses. Go to your places for battle. Put your helmets on. Sharpen your spears. Put your armor on. 5 What do I see? That army is afraid. The soldiers are running away. Their brave soldiers are defeated. They run away in a hurry. They don't look back. There is danger all around." This is what the Lord said. 6 "Fast men cannot run away. Strong soldiers cannot escape. They will all stumble and fall. This will happen in the north, by the Euphrates River. 7 Who is coming like the Nile River? Who is coming like that strong, fast river? 8 It is Egypt that comes like the rising Nile River. It is Egypt that comes like that strong, fast river. Egypt says, ‘I will come and cover the earth. I will destroy the cities and the people in them.' 9 Horse soldiers, charge into battle. Chariot drivers, drive fast. March on, brave soldiers. Soldiers from Cush and Put, carry your shields. Soldiers from Lydia, use your bows. 10 "But on that day, the Lord God All-Powerful will win. He will give his enemies the punishment they deserve. His sword will kill until it is finished, until it has satisfied its thirst for blood. Yes, the Lord God All-Powerful will kill them as a sacrifice in the land of the north by the Euphrates River.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Harness the horses,.... Put on their bridles and saddles and gird them: or, "bind the horses" r; that is, to the chariots; put them to, as we commonly express it: Egypt abounded in horses, and so no doubt brought a large cavalry, and a multitude of chariots, into the field of battle:
and get up, ye horsemen; upon the horses, or into the chariots, and so be ready to receive the enemy, or to attack him:
and stand forth with [your] helmets; present themselves on horseback, or in their chariots, with their helmets on their heads, to cover them in the day of battle:
furbish the spears; that they may be sharp and piercing, and look bright and glittering, and strike terror in the enemy:
[and] put on the brigandines; coats of mail, to cover the whole body, which were made of iron, consisting of rings, as Kimchi observes.
r אסרו הסוסים "ligate equos", Montanus, Calvin; "alligate", Schmidt.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
From the infantry the prophet proceeds to the chariots, in which the Egyptians placed great confidence.
Get up, ye horsemen - Or, “mount the steeds.”
Furbish - i. e., polish, sharpen.
Brigandines - In old times brigand meant a soldier, and we still call a division of an army a brigade, and a commander a brigadier, i. e., a brigandier, or captain of brigands. Similarly a brigandine means a soldier’s equipment, and is put here for a coat of mail.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 46:4. Furbish the spears — Cleanse, brighten, and sharpen them; from the Franco-Gallic fourbir, to polish, brighten.
Brigandines. — A coat of mail, especially that which was made scale fashion; one plate overlapping the other, like the scales of fish.
