6:1-9 The invasion from the north, probably by the Babylonians in 605 BC, was moving toward the kingdom of Judah. As the Lord’s messenger, Jeremiah had the duty of arousing the people so that they could find shelter. 6:1 Jeremiah’s parents lived in the tribal area of Benjamin, a narrow strip of land oriented east to west a few miles north of Jerusalem. Amos had lived in Tekoa, about twelve miles south of Jerusalem (Amos 1:1). • Beth-hakkerem was about three miles south of Jerusalem, overlooking Bethlehem.
