Commentary
4 notes on this verseMen, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters - See the note on Jer 41:10 (note). It is truly surprising that the Chaldeans should have left behind any of the royal family of Judah! But, 1. Perhaps they knew not there were any. 2. If they did know, they might think, being children of concubines, they could not inherit. Or, 3. That being females, they were not eligible. And they had taken care to seize all Zedekiah’s sons, and slay them before his eyes.
This site's exposition
So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord
on Jeremiah 43:4-7
Verse 4 states the verdict: Johanan and the commanders “disobeyed the command of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.” They take the whole remnant, “the king’s daughters” and “Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah” among them. They reach Tahpanhes on Egypt’s border.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters,....
It is the folly of men that they know not when they are well off, and often ruin themselves by endeavouring to better themselves; and it is the pride of great men to force those they have under their power to follow them, though ever so much against their duty and interest.
