Notes

When King Jehoiachin of Judah was captured, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon left the large, valuable furniture in the Temple. He took all of it in 586 BC.

The Lord told Jeremiah to send messages to the ambassadors from nearby countries to announce the Lord’s judgment on them. Jeremiah was to show his message by wearing a wooden yoke. This event happened in 594 to 593 BC (see Jeremiah 28:1).
