1 Ishmael, treacherously killing Gedaliah and others,
purposes with the residue to flee unto the Ammonites.
11 Johanan recovers the captives, and is minded to flee into
Egypt.
VERSE 1
- the seventh month.
This was the month {Tisri,} answering to the new moon of
September, the seventh of the sacred, but the first of the
civil year; on the third day of which the Jews keep a fast,
in commemoration of the death of Gedaliah, to which the
prophet Zechariah refers, ch. 19 8:19; 2 39:2; 6 52:6. 2 Ki 3 25:3,
8, 25. Zec 7:5; 19 8:19.

All these were signs of deep mourning; which, though
forbidden on funeral occasions, were customary, and perhaps
counted allowable, on seasons of public calamity, and this
mourning was probably on account of the destruction of
Jerusalem.

- treasures.
These "treasures hid in the field" were doubtless laid up in
subterranean pits, similar to the {mattamores} in Barbary, in
which, Dr. Shaw informs us, they deposit the grain when
winnowed; two or three hundred of them being sometimes
together, and the smallest holding four hundred bushels. The
same mode of keeping corn prevails in Syria and the Holy
Land.
VERSE 9

This was probably a large reservoir for receiving rain water,
which Asa had caused to be made in the midst of the city, in
case of a siege.

As Johanan and the other princes had taken a decided part
against Ishmael, they had no sufficient reason to fear that
the Chaldeans would revenge on them the murder of Gedaliah;
but perhaps Johanan was unwilling to be superseded in the
command which he had rightly assumed, and so used his
influence to induce the whole company to take refuge in
Egypt; and their old attachment to the Egyptians rendered
them more ready to concur in this ruinous measure.

VERSE 18
