Jeremiah 21:2
_ _ Nebuchadrezzar — the more usual way of spelling the name in Jeremiah than Nebuchadnezzar. From Persiac roots, meaning either “Nebo, the chief of the gods,” or, “Nebo, the god of fire.” He was son of Nabopolassar, who committed the command of the army against Egypt, at Carchemish, and against Judea, to the crown prince.
_ _ according to all his wondrous works — Zedekiah hopes for God’s special interposition, such as was vouchsafed to Hezekiah against Sennacherib (2 Kings 19:35, 2 Kings 19:36).
_ _ he — Nebuchadnezzar.
_ _ go up from us — rise up from the siege which he sat down to lay (Jeremiah 37:5, Jeremiah 37:11, Margin; Numbers 16:24, Numbers 16:27; 1 Kings 15:19, Margin). |

Jeremiah 21:2
(a) Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; it may be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
(a) Not that the king was touched with repentance of his sins and so sought God, as did Hezekiah when he sent for Isaiah, (2 Kings 19:1; Isaiah 37:2) but because the prophet might pray to God to take this present plague away, as Pharaoh sought Moses (Exodus 9:28). |
