John Trapp on Jeremiah 41:10

Ver. 10. Then Iſhmael carried away captive]

Auri ſacra fames quid non mortalia cogit Pectora? —

Even the Kings daughters] His own kinſwomen, whom the Babylonian had ſpared. It may be he meant to marry one of them (as our Richard the third would have done his neice Elizabeth) and ſo to have reigned in her right.

And all the people that remained in Mizpah] Who found leſſe favour from a falſe brother, then they had done from a profeſſed enemy: ſo hath the Church ever done from hereticks, then from heathens.
