And the people believed. And they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction: and falling down they adored.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord,.... This prophecy stands out of its proper place, being made in the times of Zedekiah, and when Jerusalem was besieged by the king of Babylon; whereas, after this, there are prophecies which were delivered in the times of Jehoiakim and Jeconiah, who both reigned before Zedekiah; see
Jeremiah 22:11, c.
when King Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah this was another Pashur from him that is spoken of in the preceding chapter, and is called "Magormissabib"; he was the son of Immer; this of Melchiah; he was of the sixteenth course of the priesthood; this of the "fifth":
and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest; who was of the "twenty fourth" course; see 1 Chronicles 24:9; in Jeremiah 52:24, he is called the "second priest"; he was "sagan", or deputy to the high priest: they were both priests; wherefore the Syriac version renders it in the plural number, "priests". It may be observed, that the foregoing chapter is concluded with the prophet's cursing the day of his birth; and the last clause of it expresses the "shame" he imagined his days would be consumed in; and the next account we have is of an honour done him by the king, in sending two priests to him, with a message from him; whereby he tacitly owned him to be a true prophet of the Lord; as indeed he must now be convinced by facts that he was. Princes and people, who slight the ministers of God in time of prosperity, send to them, and are desirous of their assistance in times of distress:
saying; as follows:
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
By sending this embassy Zedekiah acknowledged that Jeremiah held the same position in the kingdom which Isaiah had held under Hezekiah 2 Kings 19:2. Pashur and Zephaniah belonged to the party who were for resisting Nebuchadnezzar by force of arms.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXI
Nebuchadnezzar being come up against Jerusalem, Zedekiah sends
Pashur and Zephaniah to the prophet to request him to intercede
with God in behalf of his people, 1, 2.
But he is declared to be against Jerusalem, and the whole land
of Judah; and the only mitigation of their punishment must
proceed from their surrendering to the king of Babylon, 3-10.
Prophecy concerning the house of the king of Judah, 11, 12.
Notwithstanding the amazing fortifications round about
Jerusalem, in which the people vainly trust, the Lord will most
assuredly visit them for their iniquities; the city shall be
taken by the Chaldeans, 13, 14.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXI
Verse Jeremiah 21:1. The word which came unto Jeremiah — The chapters in the remaining parts of this prophecy seem strangely interchanged. This subject has been mentioned in the introduction, and some tables given; and to these the critical reader is requested to refer. The discourse here was delivered about the ninth year or the reign of Zedekiah. This chapter, observes Dr. Blayney, contains the first of those prophecies which were delivered by Jeremiah, subsequent to the revolt of Zedekiah, and the breaking out of the war thereupon; and which are continued on to the taking of Jerusalem, related in Jeremiah 39:1-2, in the following order: - Jeremiah 21:0, Jeremiah 34:0, Jeremiah 37:0, Jeremiah 32:0, Jeremiah 33:0, Jeremiah 38:0, Jeremiah 39:0.
Pashur the son of Melchiah — There can be little doubt that this Pashur was a different person from him who was called the son of Immur in the preceding chapter.
