Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 26:24

_ _ Ahikam — son of Shaphan the scribe, or royal secretary. He was one of those whom King Josiah, when struck by the words of the book of the law, sent to inquire of the Lord (2 Kings 22:12, 2 Kings 22:14). Hence his interference here in behalf of Jeremiah is what we should expect from his past association with that good king. His son, Gedaliah, followed in his father’s steps, so that he was chosen by the Babylonians as the one to whom they committed Jeremiah for safety after taking Jerusalem, and on whose loyalty they could depend in setting him over the remnant of the people in Judea (Jeremiah 39:14; 2 Kings 25:22).

_ _ people to put him to death — Princes often, when they want to destroy a good man, prefer it to be done by a popular tumult rather than by their own order, so as to reap the fruit of the crime without odium to themselves (Matthew 27:20).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 26:16-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 26:24

Nevertheless — Tho' Jeremiah's enemies pleaded this instance of Urijah, a case judged in this very king's reign; yet the hand, that is, the power and interest of Ahikam, one of Josiah's counsellors, and the father of Gedaliah, was with Jeremiah.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 26:24

Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam (n) the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.

(n) Which declares that nothing could have appeased their fury if God had not moved this noble man to stand valiantly in his defense.
