The word that came to Jeremiah— This chapter has no connection with the preceding. Nebuchadrezzar came to besiege Jerusalem the 10th day of the 10th month of the 9th year of Zedekiah; see chap. Jeremiah 39:1 Jeremiah 52:4. Jeremiah, at the beginning of the siege, foretold to Zedekiah, that the city should be taken, and the king sent captive to Babylon; chap. Jeremiah 34:1-7. The king, irritated at his freedom, put him in prison, or at least in the court of the prison, which was in the palace: it was in this place that what we are now about to read happened. It was now the 10th year of Zedekiah, and Jeremiah had been confined a year during the siege of the city.
