whatever his answer (Jeremiah 38:16). Jeremiah urges him to save
himself and the city by surrender to Nebuchadrezzar's princes
(Nebuc...

_Let no man know_ Zedekiah's feebleness is again conspicuous in this

Under these circumstances he continued to foretell the victory of the
Chaldeans, with the result that the anger of the princes was stirred
up against him, and he was cast into a most loathsome dungeon...
-
This must have been a very interesting interview between the king and
the Prophet; and it is impossible but to take concern in it, and to
wish that Zedekiah had listened to the Prophet's advice. And a...

Here is seen the miserable condition of the king. Had he no faith in
the answer of Jeremiah, he would not have thus feared. But he
acknowledged that what he had heard from the mouth of the Prophet was...

THE FOLLOWING COMMENTARY COVERS CHAPTER S 37 AND 38.

14-28 Jeremiah was not forward to repeat the warnings, which seemed
only to endanger his own life, and to add to the king's guilt, but
asked whether he feared to do the will of God. The less men fear...

These words sufficiently let us know that Zedekiah stood in awe of his
courtiers, and we might probably think, that had it not been for them,
he would have done better. This is the righteous judgment...
