Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.

Mizpah - in Benjamin, northwest of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 41:5; ). Not the Mizpah in Gilead, beyond Jordan (). Jeremiah showed his patriotism and piety in remaining in his country amidst afflictions, and notwithstanding the ingratitude of the Jews, rather than go to enjoy honours and pleasures in a pagan court (Hebrews 11:24). This vindicates his purity of motive in his withdrawal (Jeremiah 37:12).
