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.

had given orders about Jeremiah

on Jeremiah 39:11-14

Nebuchadnezzar gives orders about Jeremiah: “Take him, look after him, and do not let any harm come to him; do for him whatever he says.” Babylon’s officers bring him from the courtyard of the guard and turn him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whose father protected Jeremiah in 26:24.
