Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 49:27

_ _ palaces of Ben-hadad — that palace from which so many evils and such cruelty to Israel emanated; thus implying the cause of Damascus’ overthrow. Not the Ben-hadad of 2 Kings 13:3; Amos 1:4; it was a common name of the Syrian kings (compare 1 Kings 15:18; meaning “son of Hadad,” the idol).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 49:23-27.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 49:27

Ben — hadad — Was the common name of the kings of Syria.

And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of (b) Benhadad.

(b) Who was king of Syria, (1 Kings 20:26) and had built these palaces which were still called the palaces of Benhadad.
