A Precarious New Reign
Commentators note this verse places Jeremiah's message at the very beginning of King Jehoiakim's rule, around 610 BC. This was a time of political change and potential false hope. Scholars also highlight that the book of Jeremiah is not arranged chronologically; this chapter is placed here to thematically group stories about Jeremiah's conflicts.
