| Jeremiah 37:6
| Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to the king of Juda, who sent you to inquire of me: Behold the army of Pharao, which is come forth to help you, shall return into their own land, into Egypt.
| Return, routed, Jeremias 46:15. His army was small, Ezechiel 17:17., and 30:21. This king Ephree, (chap. 44:30.) or Apries, had succeeded Psammis, after an interregnum of ten years' continuance. (Herodotus 2:161.) --- He foresaw that his own dominions would be invaded, after Jerusalem, the key, was taken. The other allies of Juda perfidiously sat still, or joined the Chaldeans. (Calmet)
