Jeremiah41:18
Ver. 18. Becauſe of the Chaldaeans, for they were afraid of them] But they ſhould rather have ſanctified the Lord God in their hearts, and made him their dread, as Eſay 8.13. The fear of man bringeth a ſnare: but whoſo putteth his trust in the Lord ſhall be ſafe, Prov. 29.25. See the Notes there.
Ob incuſtodiā. Becauſe Iſhmael the ſon of Nethaniah had ſlain Gedaliah] And together with him many Chaldaeans, whom Johanan and his captaines ſhould have cautioned and better guarded; as the King of Babylon would better tell them, they thought, and withall puniſh them for their neglect.
