Commentary on Jeremiah 40:9
Gedaliah swears to the remnant: 'Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.' He counsels submission to God's appointed authority for that time. This wisdom contrasts with false patriotism that resists God's will. Gedaliah's assassination (41:2) shows that not everyone accepts God's post-judgment order.
