This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Jer_21:9 He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

Ver. 9. His life shall be unto him for a prey.] And lawful prey or booty is counted good purchase. {Isa_49:24} He shall save his life, though he lose his goods. And it should not be grievous to any man to sacrifice his estate to the service of his life. Why else did Solomon make so many hundreds of targets and shields of gold?
