This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





The Hebrew words which we translate



dungeon signify the house of the lake; they certainly signify some pit, or deep hole, or place in the prison, where were some cells or apartments, in which they were wont to keep those whom they judged great malefactors, or against whom they had some special anger; how many days the prophet was forced to abide in this miserable place it is not said, but it should seem by Jer_37:9, that it was until the Chaldean army was returned to the siege.
