Jeremiah 28:4 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Jeremiah 28:4

2 “Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘I have broken ^athe yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 ^aWithin two full years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ^btook away from this place and carried to Babylon.

4 And I will bring back to this place¹ Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah who went to Babylon,’ says the Lord, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’ ”

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of the Lord,

6 and the prophet Jeremiah said, ^a“Amen! The Lord do so; the Lord perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the Lord’s house and all who were carried away captive, from Babylon to this place.

7 Nevertheless hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people:

8 The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries and great kingdoms—of war and disaster and pestilence.

bring again . . . Jeconiah—not necessarily implying that Hananiah wished Zedekiah to be superseded by Jeconiah. The main point intended was that the restoration from Babylon should be complete. But, doubtless, the false prophet foretold Jeconiah's return (II Kings 24:12-15), to ingratiate himself with the populace, with whom Jeconiah was a favorite (see on Jeremiah 22:24).
