Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Se nos puede permitir conjeturar que Jeremías, en agradecimiento por el servicio de Ahikam a sí mismo Jeremias 26:24, recomendó a su hijo Gedaliah a Nabuzaradán, y por medio de él a Nabucodonosor, para el cargo de gobernador.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Versículo 2 Reyes 25:22 . Hecho Gedalías - gobernante. Esto no era dignidad real ; él era sólo una especie de capataz , designado para regular a los labradores .
