2. in . . . court of . . . prison —that is, in the open space occupied by the guard, from which he was not allowed to depart, but where any of his friends might visit him ( Jeremiah 32:12 ; Jeremiah 38:13 ; Jeremiah 38:28 ). Marvellous obstinacy, that at the time when they were experiencing the truth of Jeremiah's words in the pressure of the siege, they should still keep the prophet in confinement [CALVIN]. The circumstances narrated ( Jeremiah 38:28- : ) occurred at the beginning of the siege, when Jeremiah foretold the capture of the city ( Jeremiah 32:1 ; Jeremiah 34:1-7 ; Jeremiah 39:1 ). He was at that time put into free custody in the court of the prison. At the raising of the siege by Pharaoh-hophra, Jeremiah was on the point of repairing to Benjamin, when he was cast into "the dungeon," but obtained leave to be removed again to the court of the prison ( Jeremiah 39:1- : ). When there he urged the Jews, on the second advance of the Chaldeans to the siege, to save themselves by submission to Nebuchadnezzar ( Jeremiah 38:2 ; Jeremiah 38:3 ); in consequence of this the king, at the instigation of the princes, had him cast into a miry dungeon ( Jeremiah 38:4-6 ); again he was removed to the prison court at the intercession of a courtier ( Jeremiah 32:7-13 ), where he remained till the capture of the city ( Jeremiah 32:7-24.32.13- : ), when he was liberated ( Jeremiah 39:11 ; Jeremiah 40:1 , &c.). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-4" class="com-number"
