Gill's Notes on the Bible
Make ye mention to the nations,.... This, according to Kimchi, is the sum and substance of the voice from Dan. It seems to be a summons to the nations to gather together to join the king of Babylon in his enterprise against Jerusalem; see 2 Kings 24:2:
publish against Jerusalem; what follows:
that watchers come from afar country; from Babylon, which is said to be a far country, Isaiah 39:3, these are the soldiers of the king of Babylon; they are called Notzerim; which word agrees with the latter part of Nebuchadnezzar's name; to which some b think there is some reference, showing that his army is meant. It should be rendered "besiegers", as it is by some c; for these were not Nebuchadnezzar's bodyguard, but his whole army, who were come up to besiege Jerusalem; and they are compared to watchers and keepers of a field in the next verse, where another word is used. The Targum is,
"the army of a rapacious people, like the grape gatherers, come from a far country:''
and give out their voice against the cities of Judah; threaten the ruin of them; blow the trumpet, the alarm of war; give the orders to besiege; and, being sure of victory, triumph before the attack is made.
b R. Joseph Kimchi, R. Jonah, and Ben Melech, but disapproved of by Abarbinel. c × ×¦×¨×× "obsessores", Calvin, Buxtorf; a צ×ר, vel צרר, "obsedit"; so Jarchi.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Proclaim ye to the pagan, âBehold!â Cry aloud concerning âJerusalem, that watchersâ are on their way âfrom a far country: andâ will âgive out their voice against the cities of Judah.â The pagan are summoned to witness the chastisement of Jerusalem, that they may take warning thereby. By âwatchersâ are meant besiegers, who will surround the city with a line of sentinels.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 4:16. Watchers come from a far country — Persons to besiege fortified places.
