Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 39:5

_ _ Riblah — north of Palestine (see Jeremiah 1:14; Numbers 34:11). Hamath is identified by commentators with Antioch, in Syria, on the Orontes, called Epiphania, from Antiochus Epiphanes.

_ _ gave judgment upon him — literally, “spake judgments with him,” that is, brought him to trial as a common criminal, not as a king. He had violated his oath (Ezekiel 17:13-19; 2 Chronicles 36:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 39:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 39:5

Riblah — Riblah was upon the borders of Canaan. Zedekiah was a tributary to the king of Babylon, and so subject to his power, having made a covenant with him, and secured his allegiance by his oath to him.
