The order of chapters and verses of the Book of Jeremiah in the English Bibles, Masoretic Text (Hebrew), and Vulgate (Latin), in some places differs from that in Septuagint (LXX, the Greek Bible used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and others) according to Rahlfs or Brenton. The following table is taken with minor adjustments from Brenton's Septuagint, page 971.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ccel.org/bible/brenton/Jeremiah/appendix.html|title=Table of Order of Jeremiah in Hebrew and Septuagint|website=www.ccel.org}}

The order of Computer Assisted Tools for Septuagint/Scriptural Study (CATSS) based on Alfred Rahlfs' Septuaginta (1935), differs in some details from Joseph Ziegler's critical edition (1957) in Göttingen LXX. Swete's Introduction mostly agrees with Rahlfs edition (=CATSS).

The events of this chapter took place at "the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah", whereas the events of the previous chapter took place "in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah".{{bibleref2|Jeremiah|25:1|NKJV}}: NKJV Jehoiakim reigned from 609 to 598 BCE.Jewish Virtual Library, [https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jehoiakim Jehoiakim], accessed 3 March 2019

According to biblical scholar Michael Coogan, "in the beginning of the reign" technically refers to "the part of the year between the day the king ascended to the throne and the beginning of his first full year", which usually began in the spring month of Nisan (March–April).The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha, Augmented Third Edition, New Revised Standard Version, Indexed.

:"Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying,

::'Thus says the Lord of hosts:

::"Zion shall be plowed like a field,

::Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins,

::And the mountain of the temple

::Like the bare hills of the forest."'"{{bibleref2|Jeremiah|26:18|NKJV}} NKJV

This prophecy of Micah is recorded in Micah 3:12.{{bibleref2|Micah|3:12|NKJV}}

• "Temple": literally "house".

:Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.{{bibleref2|Jeremiah|26:24|NKJV}} NKJV

He had at least sons named in the Hebrew Bible: Ahikam (Jeremiah 26:24; {{bibleverse-nb|Jeremiah|40:5|9}}; {{bibleverse|2 Kings|25:22|9}}), Elasah (Jeremiah 29:3), Gemariah ({{bibleverse|Jeremiah|36:10-12|9}}) and Jaazaniah, who was among the idol worshippers seen in vision of Ezekiel ({{bibleverse|Ezekiel|8:11|9}}). His grandson were Micaiah, the son of Gemariah ({{bibleverse|Jeremiah|36:10–12|9}}) and Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the short-lived governor of Judah appointed by Nebuchadnezzar after the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE (39:14; {{bibleverse-nb|Jeremiah|40:5|9}} and 43:6). The name "Shaphan" is attested in a bullae were discovered during the excavations at the City of David headed by Israeli archeologist Yigal Shiloh in the layer of destruction by the Babylonians in ca. 586 BCE, with the inscription belonging to Gemaryahu ben Shaphan, identified with "Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe" (Jeremiah 36:10), although it is equally possible that there is no connection between the names found on the bullae and the person mentioned in the Bible.Yair Shoham, "Hebrew Bullae" in City of David Excavations: Final Report VI, Qedem 41 (Jerusalem: Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 2000), 33
