Contextual Overview

1 In the beginning of the rule of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the Lord, saying, 2 "This is what the Lord says: ‘Stand in the open space of the Lord's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah who have come to worship in the Lord's house. Tell them all the words that I have told you to say to them. Do not leave out one word! 3 It may be they will listen and everyone will turn from his sinful way. Then I may change My mind about the trouble I plan to put on them because of the sinful things they have done.' 4 And tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says: "If you will not listen to Me and follow My Law which I have set before you, 5 and if you do not listen to the words of My servants who speak for Me, whom I have been sending to you again and again, but you have not listened, 6 then I will make this House of God like Shiloh. And I will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth."'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,.... So that the prophecy of this chapter, and the facts and events connected with it, were before the prophecy of the preceding chapter, though here related; that being in the fourth year, this in the beginning of Jehoiakim's reign. Josiah was lately dead; Jehoahaz his son reigned but three months, and then was deposed by Pharaohnecho king of Egypt; and this Jehoiakim, another son of Josiah, who before was called Eliakim, was set on the throne; and quickly after his coming to it

came this word from the Lord, saying; as follows, to the prophet. This was in the year of the world 3394, and before Christ 610, according to Bishop Usher a; with whom agree Mr, Whiston b, and the authors of the Universal History c.

a Annales Vet. Test. p. 118. b Chronological Tables, cent. 9. c Vol. 21. p. 58.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jeremiah 26:0 is a narrative of the danger to which Jeremiah was exposed by reason of the prophecy contained in Jeremiah 7:0 and should be read in connection with it. Jeremiah 26:4-6 contain a summary of the prediction contained in Jeremiah 7:0, and that again is but an outline of what was a long address.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXVI

Jeremiah, by the commend of God, goes into the court of the

Lord's house; and foretells the destruction of the temple and

city, if not prevented by the speedy repentance of the people,

1-7.

By this unwelcome prophecy his life was in great danger;

although saved by the influence of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,

who makes a masterly defense for the prophet, 8-18.

Urijah is condemned, but escapes to Egypt; whence he is brought

back by Jehoiakim, and slain, 20-23.

Ahikam befriends Jeremiah, 24.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXVI

Verse Jeremiah 26:1. In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim — As this prophecy must have been delivered in the first or second year of the reign of Jehoiakim, it is totally out of its place here. Dr. Blayney puts it before chap. xxxvi. (Jeremiah 36:0); and Dr. Dahler immediately after chap. ix. (Jeremiah 9:0), and before chap. xlvi. (Jeremiah 46:0)
