Jeremiah 40:1 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Ramah — Ramah was a city in the tribe of Benjamin near Gibeon. Babylon — Jeremiah was by mistake and expressly contrary to the king's orders carried amongst the other prisoners; probably the captain of the guard at that place called over his prisoners, and among them found the prophet contrary to his expectation.

Jeremiah 40:1

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chainsa among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.
