6. Mizpah--in Benjamin, northwest of Jerusalem (Jr 41:5, 6, 9). Not the Mizpah in Gilead, beyond Jordan (Jud 10:17). Jeremiah showed his patriotism and piety in remaining in his country amidst afflictions and notwithstanding the ingratitude of the Jews, rather than go to enjoy honors and pleasures in a heathen court (He 11:24-26). This vindicates his purity of motive in his withdrawal (Jr 37:12-14).
