This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer 52:1-34. Written by some other than Jeremiah (probably Ezra) as an historical supplement to the previous prophecies.
(See on Jer 51:64). Jeremiah, having already (thirty-ninth and fortieth chapters) given the history in the proper place, was not likely to repeat it here. Its canonical authority as inspired is shown by its being in the Septuagint version. It contains the capture and burning of Jerusalem, etc., Zedekiah’s punishment, and the better treatment of Jehoiachin under Evil-merodach, down to his death. These last events were probably subsequent to Jeremiah’s time. Written by some other than Jeremiah (probably Ezra) as an historical supplement to the previous prophecies.
