Clarke's Jeremiah 42:1 Bible Commentary
The captains of the forces - The different leaders of the small bands or companies, collected from different parts of the land. The principal are those here named.
Barnes's Jeremiah 42:1 Bible Commentary
Among those delivered by Johanan from Ishmael had been Jeremiah and Baruch Jeremiah 43:6; and to them now all, without exception, come for counsel.
Jezaniah - He is called Azariah in Jeremiah 43:2. The Septuagint, in both places, call him Azariah. Since there is little reason for identifying him with Jezaniah the Maachathite Jeremiah 40:8, it is probable that the Septuagint is right in calling him in both places Azariah, and that the reading Jezaniah arose from some scribe assuming that his name must be found in the earlier list.
