‏ Jeremiah 39:12

The Deliverance of Jeremiah

Nebuchadnezzar will certainly have been informed of Jeremiah’s preaching to the people to surrender to him. This is the reason why he gives orders concerning Jeremiah (Jer 39:11). He commands that Jeremiah should be taken into protection and that no harm should be done to him (Jer 39:12). On the contrary, he is to be served at his beck and call when he says something. Nebuchadnezzar commands his entire staff that is in Jerusalem to do this (Jer 39:13).

They do as he commands and send messengers to Jeremiah to release him from his captivity (Jer 39:14). Then they turn him over to the care of Gedaliah, who is to take him home. Jeremiah is free again. He reaps the truth of the LORD’s words that he spoke to all the people.
