Jeremiah - He probably was one of the number carried off from Mizpah, and dwelt with Johanan (Jer 41:16). Hence the expression is, “came near” (Jer 42:1), not “sent.”

Let ... supplication be accepted - literally, “fall” (see on Jer 36:7; Jer 37:20).

pray for us - (Gen 20:7; Isa 37:4; Jam 5:16).

thy God - (Jer 42:5). The Jews use this form to express their belief in the peculiar relation in which Jeremiah stood to God as His accredited prophet. Jeremiah in his reply reminds them that God is their God (“your God”) as well as his as being the covenant people (Jer 42:4). They in turn acknowledge this in Jer 42:6, “the Lord our God.”

few of many - as had been foretold (Lev 26:22).
