At that time the army of the king of Babylon was holding Jerusalem under siege. Jeremiah was shut up in jail in the royal palace. Zedekiah, king of Judah, had locked him up, complaining, "How dare you preach, saying, ‘ God says, I'm warning you: I will hand this city over to the king of Babylon and he will take it over. Zedekiah king of Judah will be handed over to the Chaldeans right along with the city. He will be handed over to the king of Babylon and forced to face the music. He'll be hauled off to Babylon where he'll stay until I deal with him. God 's Decree. Fight against the Babylonians all you want—it won't get you anywhere.'"

Contextual Overview

1 The worde that came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, in the tenth yere of Zedekiah king of Iudah, which was the eightenth yeere of Nebuchad-nezzar. 2 For then the King of Babels hoste besieged Ierusalem: And Ieremiah the Prophet was shutte vp in the court of the prison, which was in the King of Iudahs house. 3 For Zedekiah King of Iudah had shut him vp, saying, Wherefore doest thou prophesie, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will giue this citie into the handes of the King of Babel, and he shall take it? 4 And Zedekiah the King of Iudah shall not escape out of the hande of the Caldeans, but shall surely be deliuered into the handes of the King of Babel, and shal speake with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall beholde his face, 5 And he shal lead Zedekiah to Babel, & there shall he be, vntil I visit him, saith ye Lord: though ye fight with the Caldeans, ye shall not prosper. 6 And Ieremiah said, The word of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 7 Beholde, Hanameel, the sonne of Shallum thine vncle, shall come vnto thee and say, Bye vnto thee my fielde, that is in Anathoth: for the title by kindred appertaineth vnto thee to bye it. 8 So Hanameel, mine vncles sonne, came to mee in the court of the prison, according to the word of the Lord, & said vnto me, Bye my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the countrey of Beniamin: for the right of the possession is thine, & the purchase belongeth vnto thee: bye it for thee. Then I knewe that this was the worde of the Lord. 9 And I bought the field of Hanameel, mine vncles sonne, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the siluer, euen seuen shekels, and tenne pieces of siluer. 10 And I writ it in the booke and signed it, and tooke witnesses, and weighed him the siluer in the balances.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord,.... The word of prophecy, as the Targum, concerning Jeremiah's buying the field of his uncle's son, Jeremiah 32:6; and concerning the delivery of the city of Jerusalem into the hands of the Chaldeans, Jeremiah 32:26; and the return of the captivity, Jeremiah 32:36;

in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which [was] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar; the same with Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, a year before the taking of the city by him; for that was in the eleventh of Zedekiah, and the nineteenth of Nebuchadnezzar; see

Jeremiah 52:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The siege of Jerusalem began in Zedekiah’s ninth year Jeremiah 39:1, but was temporarily raised upon the approach of an Egyptian army. See Jeremiah 37:0; Jeremiah 38:0.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXII

Jeremiah, now confined for his faithful admonitions, foretells

the fate of the king and city, 1-5.

According to the direction of God, he buys of his cousin

Hanameel a field in Anathoth; the contract, or deed of sale,

being subscribed, sealed, and witnessed, and delivered to

Baruch, together with a duplicate not sealed, who is commanded

to put them into an earthern vessel that they may remain there

for many days, 6-14.

This transaction of the prophet, which is entered and

subscribed in the public register, God constitutes a sign or

pledge of the Jews' return from the Babylonish captivity, and

of their again possessing houses, fields, and vineyards, in

their own land, and by their own right, according to their

tribes and families, 15.

Jeremiah's prayer, in which he recounts God's marvellous acts

towards the children of Israel, and deeply deplores the

lamentable state of the country, and the numerous provocations

which have led to it, 16-25.

After which God is introduced declaring his purpose of giving

up his people into the hands of their enemies, 26-35;

promising, however, to restore them in due time to their

ancient possessions, and to make with them an everlasting

covenant, 36-44.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXXII

Verse Jeremiah 32:1. The word that came — This prophecy bears its own date: it was delivered in the tenth year of Zedekiah, which answered to the eighteenth of Nebuchadnezzar. It appears from 2 Kings 25:8, that the eleventh year of Zedekiah was the nineteenth of Nebuchadnezzar; and consequently, that the eighteenth of that monarch must have been the tenth of the Jewish king.
