Jeremiah 39:1
英文原文
"The Capture of Jerusalem" - The majority of the particulars given in Jeremiah 39:1-14 occur again (marginal reference); and are by some regarded as an interpolation. The external evidence (that of the versions) is, however, in favor of their authenticity. Jeremiah 39:14 is to be reconciled with Jeremiah 40:1-4 by remembering that Gedaliah had left Jerusalem and gone to Mizpah Jeremiah 40:6, a city in the immediate neighborhood; and as he was not at home to protect the prophet, nothing is more probable than that Jeremiah in company with the main body of captives was brought to Ramah in chains.

Jeremiah 39:3
这些首领共有四位：
(1) 尼甲·沙利薛，即 Nirgal-sar-usur（愿尼甲保护王）；
(2) 三甲·尼波（意即「尼波啊，求你施恩」）；
(3) 撒西金。目前对这名字尚无解释。他是 Rab-saris，即太监长（见 2 Kings 18:17 注）。
(4) 另一位尼甲·沙利薛，他是 Rab-mag，即玛代祭司（术士）的首领。他在历史上以 Neriglissar 之名著称，是尼布甲尼撒的女婿，很可能在尼布甲尼撒疯癫的七年间充当他的摄政。尼布甲尼撒死后两年，Neriglissar 弑杀了尼布甲尼撒的儿子以未米罗达，篡夺了王位；但在位四年后，在与古列争夺玛代王冠的争战中被杀。见 Daniel 5:1 注。
「中门」 - 很可能就是那道分隔锡安城与下城的门。
英文原文
These princes were four:
(1) Nergal, Sharezer, i. e., Nirgal-sar-usur (May Nergal protect the king);
(2) Samgar-Nebo (Be gracious, O Nebo);
(3) Sarsechim. No explanation is given at present of this name. He was Rab-saris, i. e., chief of the eunuchs (2 Kings 18:17 note).
(4) another Nergal-sharezer, who was Rab-mag, i. e., chief of the Magians. He is known in history as Neriglissar, the son-in-law of Nebuchadnezzar, and probably his vicegerent during his seven years of madness. Two years after his death Neriglissar murdered Evil-Merodach, Nebuchadnezzars son, and seized the crown, but after a reign of four years was slain in battle against Cyrus, when disputing with him the crown of Media. See Daniel 5:1 note.
The middle gate - Probably that which separated the city of Zion from the lower town.

Jeremiah 39:4
请对照页边的参考经文。两处记载的差异甚微。
英文原文
Compare the marginal reference. The differences between the two accounts are slight.

Jeremiah 39:13
在碑铭中，尼布撒拉旦作拿布-泽尔-伊丁纳（意为「尼波已赐后裔」）；尼布沙斯班作拿布-西兹班尼（意为「尼波啊，求你拯救我」），有人认为他就是 Jeremiah 39:3 的拉撒力。
英文原文
Nebuzar-adan is in the inscriptions Nabu-zir-iddina (Nebo has given offspring); and Nebushasban, Nabu-sizibanni (Nebo save me), whom some identify with Sarsechim Jeremiah 39:3.
14
Jeremiah 39:14
耶利米将被带出护卫兵的院子，安置在近旁的王宫中。
「他就住在百姓中间」——即他不再被拘禁，可以自主决定自己的行动。
英文原文
Jeremiah was to be taken out of the court of the watch, and placed in the palace close by.
He dwelt among the people - i. e., he was no longer in custody, but master of his own actions.
15
Jeremiah 39:15
这预言大概是在耶利米与西底家会面（Jeremiah 38:14）之后临到他的，但为了不中断事件的连贯叙述，便作为附补置于此处。
英文原文
This prophecy probably came to Jeremiah after his interview with Zedekiah Jeremiah 38:14, but is added here as a supplement in order not to break the sequence of events.
17
Jeremiah 39:17
「你所惧怕的人」 - 即迦勒底人。以伯米勒显然满怀惊恐地预见城被攻破时必然发生的流血事件。
英文原文
Of whom thou art afraid - The Chaldaeans. Ebed-melech apparently looked forward with much alarm to the b oodshed sure to take place at the storming of the city.
18
Jeremiah 39:18
「作为你的掠物」 - 意外的、未曾指望的收获。他已借勇敢搭救神的先知，证明了自己的信心。
英文原文
A prey unto thee - An unexpected and unlooked-for gain. He had given proof of faith in courageously delivering God's prophet.
「耶路撒冷被攻取」 - Jeremiah 39:1-14 所载细节大多在别处再次出现（见边注参考经文）；因此被一些人视为插入的段落。然而外部证据（即古代译本的证据）却支持其真实性。要把 Jeremiah 39:14 与 Jeremiah 40:1-4 调和一致，须记住基大利已离开耶路撒冷、前往近在咫尺的米斯巴城（Jeremiah 40:6）；既然他不在原处保护先知，那么最有可能的情形就是：耶利米与其余大批被掳者一同被锁链捆锁，被带到拉玛。
