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)
