Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 40:14

_ _ Baalis — named from the idol Baal, as was often the case in heathen names.

_ _ Ammonites — So it was to them that Ishmael went after murdering Gedaliah (Jeremiah 41:10).

_ _ slay — literally, “strike thee in the soul,” that is, a deadly stroke.

_ _ Ishmael — Being of the royal seed of David (Jeremiah 41:1), he envied Gedaliah the presidency to which he thought himself entitled; therefore he leagued himself with the ancient heathen enemy of Judah.

_ _ believed ... not — generous, but unwise unsuspiciousness (Ecclesiastes 9:16).
