Jeremias 49:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 49:27

And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus
Signifying either that, a breach being made there the destruction of the city should begin, and be carried on until it was completed; or it may be understood literally, that first the houses built upon the wall should beset on fire by the Chaldeans, through the divine permission, and according to his order and wilt, and therefore ascribed to him, which should proceed further. Compare with this ( 2 Corinthians 11:32 2 Corinthians 11:33 ) ; and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad;
not only the houses of the common people in general, but particularly the palaces of their king and his nobles; Benhadad being a name of one of the kings of Syria, ( 1 Kings 20:1 ) ; and which, according to Kimchi, was the name of the king of Syria at the time of the destruction of Damascus by Nebuchadnezzar. Some think that this was a common name of the kings of Syria, as Pharaoh and Ptolemy with the Egyptians. It signifies the son of Hadad, which was the name of their idol; from whence their kings might be called, as was usual with the Assyrians and Babylonians.

Jeremias 49:27 In-Context

25 Como está abandonada a cidade famosa, a cidade da minha alegria!

26 Portanto os seus jovens lhe cairão nas ruas, e todos os homens de guerra serão consumidos naquele dia, diz o Senhor dos exércitos.

27 E acenderei fogo no muro de Damasco, o qual consumirá os palácios de Bene-Hadade.

28 A respeito de Quedar, e dos reinos de Hazor, que Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, feriu. Assim diz o Senhor: Levantai-vos, subi contra Quedar, e destruí os filhos do Oriente.

29 As suas tendas e os seus rebanhos serão tomados; as suas cortinas serão levadas, como também todos os seus vasos, e os seus camelos; e lhes gritarão: Há terror de todos os lados!
