Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 47:4

_ _ every helper — The Philistines, being neighbors to the Phoenicians of Tyre and Sidon, would naturally make common cause with them in the case of invasion. These cities would have no helper left when the Philistines should be destroyed.

_ _ Caphtor — the Caphtorim and Philistines both came from Mizraim (Genesis 10:13, Genesis 10:14). The Philistines are said to have been delivered by God from Caphtor (Amos 9:7). Perhaps before the time of Moses they dwelt near and were subjugated by the Caphtorim (Deuteronomy 2:23) and subsequently delivered. “The remnant” means here those still left after the Egyptians had attacked Gaza and Palestine; or rather, those left of the Caphtorim after the Chaldeans had attacked them previous to their attack on the Philistines. Some identify Caphtor with Cappadocia; Gesenius, with Crete (Ezekiel 25:16, Cherethims); Kitto, Cyprus. Between Palestine and Idumea there was a city Caparorsa; and their close connection with Palestine on the one hand, and Egypt (Mizraim, Genesis 10:13, Genesis 10:14) on the other hand, makes this locality the most likely.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 47:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 47:4

The day — Which God hath set, and appointed for their ruin. Caphtor — Tyre and Sidon were neighbours to the Philistines, and so were often called to their help. The Philistines and Caphtorim were related, for their first progenitors, Philistim and Caphtorim, were both the sons of Mizriam the son of Ham, one of the sons of Noah.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 47:4

Because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, [and] to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the country of (e) Caphtor.

(e) For the Caphtorims had destroyed in old time the Philistines, and dwelt in their land even to Gaza, (Deuteronomy 2:23).
