EXPLANATION

Verse 22. Day, when Jeremias, the author lived. Tostat.—Lobna, a frontier town bordering on Idumea. It was a strong place assigned to priests; but strangers had probably again taken possession of it, and caused it now to revolt. The kings of Juda had retaken it when Sennacherib laid siege to the place. See Calmet. 19:8. Josue 10:30 and 21:13.
