Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 34:4-5.


Jeremiah 34:5

_ _ the burnings of thy fathers — Thy funeral shall be honored with the same burning of aromatic spices as there was at the funerals of thy fathers (2 Chronicles 16:14; 2 Chronicles 21:19). The honors here mentioned were denied to Jehoiakim (Jeremiah 22:18).

_ _ Ah, lord! — The Hebrews in their chronology (Seder Olam) mention the wailing used over him, “Alas! King Zedekiah is dead, drinking the dregs (that is, paying the penalty for the sins) of former ages.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 34:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 34:5

Ah Lord — The Jews in their chronology, give us the form of the lamentation thus. Alas! Zedekiah is dead, who drank the dregs of all ages: that is, who was punished for the sins of all former ages.
