Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Jeremiah 30:18

Verse Jeremiah 30:18. The city shall be builded upon her own heap] Be re-edified from its own ruins. See the book of Nehemiah, passim.

And the palace shall remain] Meaning, the king's house shall be restored; or, more probably, the temple shall be rebuilt; which was true, for after the Babylonish captivity it was rebuilt by Nehemiah, c. By the tents, distinguished from the dwelling-places of Jacob, we may understand all the minor dispersions of the Jews, as well as those numerous synagogues found in large cities.
