scribe's chamber--an apartment in the palace occupied by the secretary of state.
princes--holding a counsel of state at the time.
Elnathan--who had already been an instrument of evil in Jehoiakim's hand (Jer 26:22-23).
Hananiah--the false prophet (Jer 28:10-17). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| The scribe's chamber - The chancery in which the king's business was conducted. Probably Elishama was one of the "principal scribes of the host" Jer 52:25, i. e., the secretary of state for war. The business which had brought together "all the princes" would have reference to the Chaldaean war. |
10 Then Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030] took [03947] the yoke [04133] from off the prophet [05030] Jeremiah's [03414] neck [06677], and brake [07665] it.
11 And Hananiah [02608] spake [0559] in the presence [05869] of all the people [05971], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Even so will I break [07665] the yoke [05923] of Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] from the neck [06677] of all nations [01471] within the space of two full [03117] years [08141]. And the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] went [03212] his way [01870].
12 Then the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414] the prophet, after [0310] that Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030] had broken [07665] the yoke [04133] from off the neck [06677] of the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
13 Go [01980] and tell [0559] Hananiah [02608], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Thou hast broken [07665] the yokes [04133] of wood [06086]; but thou shalt make [06213] for them yokes [04133] of iron [01270].
14 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; I have put [05414] a yoke [05923] of iron [01270] upon the neck [06677] of all these nations [01471], that they may serve [05647] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894]; and they shall serve [05647] him: and I have given [05414] him the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] also.
15 Then said [0559] the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] unto Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030], Hear [08085] now, Hananiah [02608]; The LORD [03068] hath not sent [07971] thee; but thou makest this people [05971] to trust [0982] in a lie [08267].
16 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will cast [07971] thee from off the face [06440] of the earth [0127]: this year [08141] thou shalt die [04191], because thou hast taught [01696] rebellion [05627] against the LORD [03068].
17 So Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030] died [04191] the same year [08141] in the seventh [07637] month [02320].
22 And Jehoiakim [03079] the king [04428] sent [07971] men [0582] into Egypt [04714], namely, Elnathan [0494] the son [01121] of Achbor [05907], and certain men [0582] with him into Egypt [04714].
23 And they fetched forth [03318] Urijah [0223] out of Egypt [04714], and brought [0935] him unto Jehoiakim [03079] the king [04428]; who slew [05221] him with the sword [02719], and cast [07993] his dead body [05038] into the graves [06913] of the common [01121] people [05971].
25 He took [03947] also out of the city [05892] an [0259] eunuch [05631], which had the charge [06496] of the men [0582] of war [04421]; and seven [07651] men [0582] of them that were near [07200] the king's [04428] person [06440], which were found [04672] in the city [05892]; and the principal [08269] scribe [05608] of the host [06635], who mustered [06633] the people [05971] of the land [0776]; and threescore [08346] men [0376] of the people [05971] of the land [0776], that were found [04672] in the midst [08432] of the city [05892].
