This period is characterized by colder weather in the region of Judah, necessitating the use of winter quarters. The timing is significant as it reflects the urgency of the message from God through Jeremiah, delivered during a time when people would be indoors and more likely to gather around for warmth and discussion. This month is also associated with the festival of Hanukkah, though it was not celebrated during Jeremiah's time.<p><b>the king was sitting in his winter quarters</b><br>The king referred to here is Jehoiakim, who reigned over Judah from 609 to 598 BC. Winter quarters were likely a part of the palace designed to provide warmth and comfort during the colder months. This setting indicates a place of relative security and comfort, contrasting with the dire warnings of Jeremiah. The mention of the king's winter quarters highlights the disconnect between the king's physical comfort and the spiritual and political turmoil facing the nation.<p><b>with a fire burning before him</b><br>The fire symbolizes warmth and light, essential for survival during the cold months. In a broader biblical context, fire often represents God's presence, judgment, or purification (e.g., <a href="/exodus/3-2.htm">Exodus 3:2</a>, <a href="/malachi/3-2.htm">Malachi 3:2-3</a>). Here, the fire is a literal source of heat, but it also serves as a backdrop to the unfolding drama of the king's rejection of God's word. The fire's presence underscores the irony of the king's physical warmth and security while he is spiritually cold and unresponsive to God's message.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/king_jehoiakim.htm">King Jehoiakim</a></b><br>The king of Judah during the time of Jeremiah.

It was in November or December, and, as glass windows were unknown, a charcoal fire, placed after the Eastern fashion in a brazier, or earthen pot, in the middle of the room, was a necessity. So we find a fire in the court of the high priest's palace in the raw early morning of a Passover in March or April (<a href="/john/18-18.htm" title="And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.">John 18:18</a>).<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/36.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 22.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">In the winter house;</span> <span class="accented">i.e.</span> that part of the royal palace (<span class="accented">beth</span>, house, may also be rendered <span class="accented">apartment</span>) which was arranged for a winter habitation (comp. <a href="/amos/3-15.htm">Amos 3:15</a>). According to Dr. Thomson ('The Land and the Book,' p. 309), the more airy part of a house is called "summerhouse," and the more sheltered room "winter house." The ninth month, in which the events now being related took place, corresponded approximately to our December. It was, therefore, the cold and rainy season; December is a stormy month in Palestine. <span class="cmt_word">A fire on the hearth;</span> rather, <span class="accented">in the chafing dish</span> (or, <span class="accented">brazier</span>).
