How long will you keep flailing?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines,.... As the former prophecies were against the Egyptians, the friends and allies of the Jews, in whom they trusted; this is against the Philistines, the near neighbours of the Jews, and their implacable enemies: the time of this prophecy was,
before Pharaoh smote Gaza; one of the five cities of the Philistines, a very strong and fortified place, as its name signifies;
:-. The Jews, in their chronicle, say t this was fulfilled in the eighth year of Zedekiah, when Pharaoh came out of Egypt, while the Chaldeans were besieging Jerusalem; which they hearing of, broke up the siege, and went forth to meet him; upon which he went to Gaza, and destroyed that, and returned to Egypt again. Both Jarchi and Kimchi make mention of this, but say it was in the tenth year of Zedekiah; and which, no doubt, is the truest reading, since the Chaldean army did not come up against Jerusalem until the ninth year of his reign. But it is more likely that this Pharaoh was Pharaohnecho, and that he fell upon Gaza, and smote it, either when he came to Carchemish, or when he returned from thence, after he had slain Josiah. Now this prophecy was delivered out before anything of this kind happened, and when the Philistines were in the utmost peace, and in no fear or expectation of destruction; and the smiting of this single city by the king of Egypt is foretold, as the forerunner and pledge of a greater destruction of the land by the king of Babylon, next mentioned.
t Seder Olam Rabba, c. 26. p. 75.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
that Pharaoh - Pharaoh-Necho though defeated at Carchemish, was probably able to seize Gaza upon his retreat, when obviously the possession of so strong a fortress would be most useful to him to prevent the entrance of the victorious Chaldaeans into Egypt.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XLVII
Among the nations doomed to suffer from the hostilities of
Nebuchadnezzar are the Philistines, (see Jeremiah 25:20.)
And the calamities predicted in this chapter befell them
probably during the long siege of Tyre, when their country was
desolated to prevent their giving Tyre or Sidon any assistance,
1-5.
The whole of this chapter is remarkably elegant. The address to
the sword of Jehovah, at the close of it, is particularly a
very beautiful and bold personification, 6, 7.
NOTES ON CHAP. XLVII
Verse Jeremiah 47:1. The word of the Lord - against the Philistines — The date of this prophecy cannot be easily ascertained. Dr. Blayney thinks it was delivered about the fourth year of Zedekiah, while Dahler assigns it some time in the reign of Josiah.
Before that Pharaoh smote Gaza. — We have no historical relation of any Egyptian king smiting Gaza. It was no doubt smitten by some of them; but when, and by whom, does not appear either from sacred or profane history.
