Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Mizpah--in Benjamin, northwest of Jerusalem (Jer 41:5-6, Jer 41:9). Not the Mizpah in Gilead, beyond Jordan (Jdg 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 (Heb 11:24-26). This vindicates his purity of motive in his withdrawal (Jer 37:12-14).
