Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 41:5

_ _ beards shaven, etc. — indicating their deep sorrow at the destruction of the temple and city.

_ _ cut themselves — a heathen custom, forbidden (Leviticus 19:27, Leviticus 19:28; Deuteronomy 14:1). These men were mostly from Samaria, where the ten tribes, previous to their deportation, had fallen into heathen practices.

_ _ offerings — unbloody. They do not bring sacrificial victims, but “incense,” etc., to testify their piety.

_ _ house of ... Lord — that is, the place where the house of the Lord had stood (2 Kings 25:9). The place in which a temple had stood, even when it had been destroyed, was held sacred [Papinian]. Those “from Shiloh” would naturally seek the house of the Lord, since it was at Shiloh it originally was set up (Joshua 18:1).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 41:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 41:5

There came men — Who possibly had not heard of the temple being burnt. Cut themselves — With all indications of mourning used in those countries.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 41:5

That there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, [even] eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with (d) offerings and incense in their hand, to bring [them] to the house of the LORD.

(d) For they thought that the temple had not been destroyed and therefore came up to the feast of tabernacles but hearing of the burning of it in the way, they showed these signs of sorrow.
