Jeremiah 49:1-39 WEB

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 49:2

Because Ammon had taken over territory that Yahweh had given to His people, the Lord would send soldiers against the capital city, Rabbah (modern Amman, the capital of Jordan). He would destroy it and the other Ammonite towns, and enable Israel to repossess what the Lord had given her. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 49:3

The Ammonites, in their chief cities, would mourn over the destruction of their other towns. Heshbon was normally a Moabite city, but at certain periods the Ammonites occupied it. This "Ai" must have been an Ammonite town; it could not be the Ai near Bethel in Cisjordan. The enemy would take images of Malcam into captivity, along with the idol’s priests and the princes of the nation (cf. Jeremiah 46:25; Jeremiah 48:7). If we should translate "Malcam" in this verse, the meaning becomes: the... read more

Ammon’s sins were her pride in her natural resources (cf. Jeremiah 48:26; Jeremiah 48:29; Jeremiah 48:42) and her material treasures that she had accumulated (cf. Jeremiah 48:7; 1 Timothy 6:17), and her false security (cf. Jeremiah 48:11). Steep valleys surrounded remote Ammon on three sides. The people of Ammon, personified as a daughter, were slipping away from their secure position, as the water in their valleys flowed away. read more

Yahweh promised to terrorize the Ammonites with enemies that would attack from all directions (cf. Jeremiah 49:29; Jeremiah 6:25; Jeremiah 20:3-4; Jeremiah 20:10; Jeremiah 46:5). No one would be able to organize the fugitives because the scattering would be so great. read more

Later, however, Yahweh would restore the fortunes of the Ammonites. This occurred briefly after the Exile. Tobiah was a Persian governor of Ammon during the postexilic period (cf. Nehemiah 2:10; Nehemiah 2:19; Nehemiah 4:7). But restoration of this region will also take place in the Millennium (cf. Jeremiah 46:26-28; Jeremiah 48:47).Nebuchadnezzar brought the Ammonites under his authority when he advanced into Palestine in 605 B.C. After that, Ammon proved disloyal to Babylon in 594 B.C.... read more

Teman (lit. south), a town in Edom about halfway between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqabah, was famous for the wisdom of its inhabitants (cf. Job 2:11; Obadiah 1:9). [Note: Thompson, p. 721.] Yet the Edomites had not behaved wisely. The name of this town was a poetic equivalent for the whole nation (cf. Habakkuk 3:3), and it came from one of Esau’s grandsons (Genesis 36:11). read more

E. The oracle against Edom 49:7-22The Edomites lived to the southeast of Judah, south of Moab. The Zered River was their northern border, the Gulf of Aqabah (about 100 miles to the south) the southern, the Arabah the western, and the desert the eastern borders. The Edomites were descendants of Esau, and a long history of antagonism with the Israelites that reached back to the days of Jacob and Esau, and Israel’s wilderness wanderings, marked their relationship (cf. Numbers 20:14-21; Judges... read more
