Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Jeremiah's prophecies were known to Nebuchadnezzar through deserters (Jer 39:9; Jer 38:19), also through the Jews carried to Babylon with Jeconiah (compare Jer 40:2). Hence the king's kindness to him.

gave charge concerning Jeremiah

on Jeremiah 39:11-14

Nebuchadnezzar's charge concerning Jeremiah comes by name and from the top of the empire itself, take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee, a foreign king honoring the prophet Judah's own king had imprisoned twice. The princes of Babylon carry out the order to the letter, taking Jeremiah from the court of the prison and committing him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, of the family that had already shielded Jeremiah once (26:24), so that he dwelt among the people rather than in exile, the bench noting the reversal that Babylon protects the man Jerusalem's own princes tried to drown in mire.
