StudyKhoản cống nạp nặng nề — 'Truất ngôi người tại Giê-ru-sa-lem' ở đây có nghĩa là Nê-cô đã áp đặt một khoản tiền phạt/cống nạp lên Giu-đa: 100 ta lâng bạc và một ta lâng vàng.

StudyChú, không phải anh em — Sê-đê-kia là chú của Giê-hô-gia-kin, không phải là anh em ruột; từ Hê-bơ-rơ chỉ 'anh em' cũng có thể có nghĩa là một người bà con gần. Ký thuật song song xác định ông là anh em của cha Giê-hô-gia-kin và ghi lại tên mới của ông.(2KI 24:17)At the beginning of the year King Nebuchadnezzar ordered him to be brought to Babylon, along with the valuable items in the Lord’s temple.

StudyLời thề với Ba-by-lôn — Nê-bu-cát-nết-sa đã bắt Sê-đê-kia thề trung thành nhân danh Đức Chúa Trời. Phản nghịch lại Ba-by-lôn cũng là phá vỡ lời thề trước mặt Đức Chúa Trời — không chỉ đơn thuần là vấn đề chính trị. Ê-xê-chi-ên gọi điều này là khinh dể lời thề bằng cách phá vỡ giao ước.(EZK 17:18)He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him vow allegiance in the name of God.

StudyDậy sớm và thường xuyên — 'Hằng sai sứ giả' là thành ngữ Hê-bơ-rơ 'dậy sớm và sai đi'—Đức Chúa Trời sai các tiên tri một cách bền bỉ, với sự quan tâm. Câu này nhấn mạnh lòng thương xót của Ngài; câu tiếp theo cho thấy sự chối bỏ của dân chúng đã hoàn toàn đến mức nào.The Lord God of their ancestors continually warned them through his messengers, for he felt compassion for his people and his dwelling place.

StudyBảy mươi năm an nghỉ — Giê-rê-mi đã tiên tri về 70 năm lưu đày. 'Xứ được hưởng các năm sa-bát' ám chỉ mạng lệnh của Đức Chúa Trời về việc đất phải nghỉ ngơi mỗi năm thứ bảy. Vì Y-sơ-ra-ên đã phớt lờ sự nghỉ ngơi đó, cuộc lưu đày đã mang lại cho đất những năm sa-bát mà nó đã bỏ lỡ.(JER 25:11)This took place to fulfill the Lord’s message delivered through Jeremiah. The land experienced its sabbatical years; it remained desolate for seventy years, as prophesied.
StudySi-ru đã được báo trước — Ê-sai đã tiên tri rằng Si-ru sẽ xây dựng lại Giê-ru-sa-lem, vì vậy 'Đức Giê-hô-va cảm động lòng' là một lời hứa đang được thực hiện. Đức Chúa Trời có thể lay động ngay cả lòng của một vị vua ngoại quốc để làm trọn lời Ngài.(ISA 44:28)In the first year of the reign of King Cyrus of Persia, in fulfillment of the promise he delivered through Jeremiah, the Lord moved King Cyrus of Persia to issue a written decree throughout his kingdom.
It read: “This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: ‘The Lord God of the heavens has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has appointed me to build for him a temple in Jerusalem in Judah. May the Lord your God energize you who belong to his people, so you may be able to go back there!”
