JEREMY XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, & XXII. to ver. 24.

IT was observed before, that Chapter 11. was most properly to be referred to Josiahs times, as pointing to the Covenant that he caused the people to enter into, and that the twelfth Chapter joyned to it, viz. vers. 5, 6. of Chap. 12. to vers. 21, 22, 23. of Chap. 11. And so with the end of the twelfth Chapter, are ended the Prophesies of Jeremy of Josiahs time. And it was also observed before, that ver. 18. of Chap. 13. pointed at the time of Jehoiakim; and so doth also the 18. vers. of Chap. 22. And therefore since we have no date nor direction for any of the Chapters between, to fix them to any other time, we may very well take in all these Chapters of Jeremy from the beginning of the thirteenth to the 24 verse of the two and twentieth, in the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim. The one and twentieth Chapter only is to be set out, for it is plainly dated by the time of Zedekiah. Now the reason of setting this Chapter so forward, as among those that were in the be∣ginning of Jehoiakims time, whereas it was in Zedekiahs, which was many years after, may be conjectured to be because of the correspon∣dency of something in the twentieth Chapter and it. In the twentieth a Pashur in the time of Jehoiakim, sets Jeremy in the stocks for foretelling destruction to Jerusalem by the Babylonian. And in the one and twen∣tieth a Pashur in the time of Zedekiah, seeks to Jeremy for remedy against the Babylonian, who had made good Jeremies Prophesie so far as that he had besieged Jerusalem: This was a thing remarkable, that one Pashur should thus oppose Jeremies prophesying, and another Pashur should thus assert it; And for the better marking of this, the two Chap∣ters that contain the two stories are laid together.

The two and twentieth to ver. 24. doth shew that it was delivered in Jehoiakims time, when Shallum or Jehoahaz was not long before captiva∣ted: It biddeth, Weep not for the dead, Josiah, but weep sorely for Shallum that was gone, for he should return no more, vers. 10. See 2 Kings 23. 34.
