Contextual Overview

1 At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this Message came from God to Jeremiah: 2" God 's Message: Stand in the court of God 's Temple and preach to the people who come from all over Judah to worship in God 's Temple. Say everything I tell you to say to them. Don't hold anything back. Just maybe they'll listen and turn back from their bad lives. Then I'll reconsider the disaster that I'm planning to bring on them because of their evil behavior. 4"Say to them, ‘This is God 's Message: If you refuse to listen to me and live by my teaching that I've revealed so plainly to you, and if you continue to refuse to listen to my servants the prophets that I tirelessly keep on sending to you—but you've never listened! Why would you start now?—then I'll make this Temple a pile of ruins like Shiloh, and I'll make this city nothing but a bad joke worldwide.'"

Cross-References

Genesis 26:1
There was a famine in the land, as bad as the famine during the time of Abraham. And Isaac went down to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, in Gerar.
Genesis 26:2
God appeared to him and said, "Don't go down to Egypt; stay where I tell you. Stay here in this land and I'll be with you and bless you. I'm giving you and your children all these lands, fulfilling the oath that I swore to your father Abraham. I'll make your descendants as many as the stars in the sky and give them all these lands. All the nations of the Earth will get a blessing for themselves through your descendants. And why? Because Abraham obeyed my summons and kept my charge—my commands, my guidelines, my teachings."
Genesis 26:32
Later that same day, Isaac's servants came to him with news about the well they had been digging, "We've struck water!" Isaac named the well Sheba (Oath), and that's the name of the city, Beersheba (Oath-Well), to this day.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,.... So that the prophecy of this chapter, and the facts and events connected with it, were before the prophecy of the preceding chapter, though here related; that being in the fourth year, this in the beginning of Jehoiakim's reign. Josiah was lately dead; Jehoahaz his son reigned but three months, and then was deposed by Pharaohnecho king of Egypt; and this Jehoiakim, another son of Josiah, who before was called Eliakim, was set on the throne; and quickly after his coming to it

came this word from the Lord, saying; as follows, to the prophet. This was in the year of the world 3394, and before Christ 610, according to Bishop Usher a; with whom agree Mr, Whiston b, and the authors of the Universal History c.

a Annales Vet. Test. p. 118. b Chronological Tables, cent. 9. c Vol. 21. p. 58.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jeremiah 26:0 is a narrative of the danger to which Jeremiah was exposed by reason of the prophecy contained in Jeremiah 7:0 and should be read in connection with it. Jeremiah 26:4-6 contain a summary of the prediction contained in Jeremiah 7:0, and that again is but an outline of what was a long address.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXVI

Jeremiah, by the commend of God, goes into the court of the

Lord's house; and foretells the destruction of the temple and

city, if not prevented by the speedy repentance of the people,

1-7.

By this unwelcome prophecy his life was in great danger;

although saved by the influence of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,

who makes a masterly defense for the prophet, 8-18.

Urijah is condemned, but escapes to Egypt; whence he is brought

back by Jehoiakim, and slain, 20-23.

Ahikam befriends Jeremiah, 24.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXVI

Verse Jeremiah 26:1. In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim — As this prophecy must have been delivered in the first or second year of the reign of Jehoiakim, it is totally out of its place here. Dr. Blayney puts it before chap. xxxvi. (Jeremiah 36:0); and Dr. Dahler immediately after chap. ix. (Jeremiah 9:0), and before chap. xlvi. (Jeremiah 46:0)
