1 among the people there.
13Jer 18.18; 20.10; 38.7; Zech 14.10; Lk 23.2; Acts 24.5–9, 13When he reached the Benjamin Gate, a sentinel there named Irijah son of Shelemiah son of Hananiah arrested the prophet Jeremiah saying, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans.”
14And Jeremiah said, “That is a lie; I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But Irijah would not listen to him and arrested Jeremiah and brought him to the officials.
152 Chr 16.10; 18.26; Jer 18.23The officials were enraged at Jeremiah, and they beat him and imprisoned him in the house of the secretary Jonathan, for it had been made a prison.
16Jer 38.6Thus Jeremiah was put in the cistern house, in the cells, and remained there many days.
17 Jer 38.5, 14–16, 24–27 Then King Zedekiah sent for him and received him. The king questioned him secretly in his house and said, “Is there any word from the Lord?” Jeremiah said, “There is!” Then he said, “You shall be handed over to the king of Babylon.”
18Dan 6.22; Jn 10.32; Acts 25.8, 11, 25Jeremiah also said to King Zedekiah, “What wrong have I done to you or your servants or this people, that you have put me in prison?
19Jer 2.28; 6.14; 29.31Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land’?
20Now please hear me, my lord king: be good enough to listen to my plea, and do not send me back to the house of the secretary Jonathan to die there.”
21Isa 33.16; Jer 32.2; 38.9, 13, 28; 39.14, 15; 52.6So King Zedekiah gave orders, and they committed Jeremiah to the court of the guard, and a loaf of bread was given him daily from the bakers’ street, until all the bread of the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
