This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the word of the LORD came. It is remarkable that, in the four longer prophets, this formula is almost entirely confined to the two who were priests (Jeremiah and Ezekiel). See App-82. Compare Gen_15:1. 1Sa_9:27; 1Sa_15:10. 2Sa_7:4; 2Sa_24:11. 1Ki_12:22. 1Ch_17:3; 1Ch_22:8. 2Ch_11:2; 2Ch_12:7. Eze_1:3; Eze_14:12. Hos_1:1. Joe_1:1, &c.
the LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4.
Josiah. Three kings named here and in Jer_1:3. Two others not named here (Jehoahaz and Jehoiachin), who reigned only three months each (2Ki_23:31; 2Ki_24:8).
thirteenth year. A year after Josiah began his reformation (2Ch_34:3). (618 B.C. See App-50.) Sixty-six years after Isaiah ended. For the chronology of Jeremiah, see App-77and App-83. From 2Ch_34:22. Jeremiah was probably still at Anathoth.
