Contextual Overview

1 When Jeremiah had finished giving this message from the Lord their God to all the people, 2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the other proud men said to Jeremiah, "You lie! The Lord our God hasn't forbidden us to go to Egypt! 3 Baruch son of Neriah has convinced you to say this, because he wants us to stay here and be killed by the Babylonians or be carried off into exile." 4 So Johanan and the other military leaders and all the people refused to obey the Lord 's command to stay in Judah. 5 Johanan and the other leaders took with them all the people who had returned from the nearby countries to which they had fled. 6 In the crowd were men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and all those whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had left with Gedaliah. The prophet Jeremiah and Baruch were also included. 7 The people refused to obey the voice of the Lord and went to Egypt, going as far as the city of Tahpanhes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people,.... The princes and the people, the whole body of them, who had desired the prophet to seek the Lord for them, and whom he called together to relate his answer, and declare his will; see Jeremiah 42:1; they heard him out, and that was as much as they did; for as soon as he had done, they rose up and contradicted him: however, he faithfully declared

all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God sent him to them, [even] all the words; which are related in the preceding chapter, which were the words of the Lord, and so ought to have been regarded; and the rather, as they were the words of their God, whom they professed, and which he had sent his prophet to declare unto them; and who had kept back nothing, but had made known the whole; he had told the truth, and nothing but the truth, and all the truth.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

These captains belonged to the party who had all along resisted Jeremiah’s counsels, and had led Zedekiah astray. Now however that events had proved that the prophet’s counsels had been wise and true, they cannot for shame find fault with him, but they affirm that he is under the influence of Baruch, a traitor who has sold himself to the Chaldaeans, and seeks only the hurt of the people.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XLIII

The leading men, discrediting Jeremiah's prophecy, carry the

people into Egypt, 1-7.

Jeremiah, by a type, foretells the conquest of Egypt by

Nebuchadnezzar, 8-13.

This mode of conveying instruction by actions was very

expressive, and frequently practised by the prophets. The image

of Nebuchadnezzar arraying himself with Egypt, as a shepherd

puts on his garment, is very noble. Egypt at this time

contended with Babylon for the empire of the east; yet this

mighty kingdom, when God appoints the revolution, shifts its

owner with as much ease as a shepherd removes his tent or

garment, which the new proprietor has only to spread over him.

See Jeremiah 43:12.
