Jeremiah 39:1
繁體中文
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
繁體中文
這些首領共有四位：
（1）尼甲‧沙利薛（Nergal-Sharezer），即 Nirgal-sar-usur（意為「願尼甲保護王」）；
（2）三甲‧尼波（Samgar-Nebo，意為「尼波啊，求你施恩」）；
（3）撒西金（Sarsechim）。這名字目前尚無解釋。他是拉撒力（Rab-saris），即太監長（見 2 Kings 18:17 註）。
（4）另一位尼甲‧沙利薛（Nergal-sharezer），他是拉墨（Rab-mag），即瑪代術士的首領。歷史上他稱為尼里格利沙爾（Neriglissar），是尼布甲尼撒的女婿，而且很可能在尼布甲尼撒發瘋的七年間代他攝政。尼布甲尼撒死後兩年，尼里格利沙爾弒了尼布甲尼撒的兒子以未米羅達，篡奪了王位；在位四年之後，在與古列爭奪瑪代王冠的戰爭中陣亡。見 Daniel 5:1 註。
中門——大概是把錫安城與下城隔開的那道門。
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.

參閱邊註所引的平行經文。這兩處記載的差異甚微。
英文原文
Compare the marginal reference. The differences between the two accounts are slight.

Jeremiah 39:13
繁體中文
在碑文中，尼布撒拉旦作 Nabu-zir-iddina（「尼波賜下了後裔」）；尼布沙斯班作 Nabu-sizibanni（「尼波啊，拯救我」），有人認為他就是 Jeremiah 39:3 的撒西金。
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
繁體中文
耶利米將被帶出護衛兵的院子，安置在近旁的王宮中。
「他就住在百姓中間」——即他不再被拘禁，可自主決定自己的行動。
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
繁體中文
這預言大概是在耶利米與西底家會面之後臨到他的（Jeremiah 38:14），但為免打斷事件的先後順序，便作為補充附在這裏。
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
繁體中文
「你所怕的人」——即迦勒底人。看來以伯米勒帶着極大的驚恐，預期城被攻陷時必然發生的殺戮。
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
繁體中文
「為你的掠物」——即意外而不曾指望的收穫。他因勇敢地營救神的先知，顯明了信心的憑據。
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.
「耶路撒冷之陷落」——Jeremiah 39:1-14所載的大部分細節又出現於別處（見邊註經文），故被一些人視為插補。然而，外在的證據（即諸古譯本的證據）卻支持它們的真實性。要調和Jeremiah 39:14與Jeremiah 40:1-4，只需記得基大利已離開耶路撒冷，前往就在附近的米斯巴城（Jeremiah 40:6）；他既不在原處保護先知，那麼耶利米與被擄的大隊人一同被鎖鏈押到拉瑪，便是最可能不過的事了。
