Jérémie 52:31-34

31 Or il arriva, la trente-septième année de la captivité de Jéhojakim, roi de Juda, le vingt-cinquième jour du douzième mois, qu'Évilmérodac, roi de Babylone, l'année où il devint roi, releva la tête de Jéhojakim, roi de Juda, et le tira de prison.

32 Il lui parla avec douceur, et il mit son trône au-dessus du trône des rois qui étaient avec lui à Babylone.

33 Et après qu'il lui eut changé ses vêtements de prisonnier, il mangea constamment en sa présence, tout le temps de sa vie.

34 Et pour son entretien, un ordinaire continuel lui fut établi par le roi de Babylone, pour chaque jour, jusqu'à sa mort, tout le temps de sa vie.

Jérémie 52:31-34 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JEREMIAH 52

This chapter contains the history of the besieging, taking, and destroying of Jerusalem; the moving cause of it, the wicked reign of Zedekiah, Jer 52:1-3; the instruments of it, the king of Babylon and his army, which besieged and took it, Jer 52:4-7; into whose hands the king of Judah, his sons, and the princes of Judah, fell; and were very barbarously and cruelly used by them, Jer 52:8-11. Then follows an account of the burning of the temple, the king's palace, and the houses in Jerusalem, and the breaking down of the walls of it, Jer 52:12-14; and of those that were carried captive, and of those that were left in the land by Nebuzaradan, Jer 52:15,16; and of the several vessels and valuable things in the temple, of gold, silver, and brass, it was plundered of, and carried to Babylon, Jer 52:17-23; and of the murder of several persons of dignity and character, Jer 52:24-27; and of the number of those that were carried captive at three different times, Jer 52:28-30; and the chapter is concluded with the exaltation of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and of the good treatment he met with from the king of Babylon to the day of his death, Jer 52:31-34.
