Zedekiah - Probably a gloss put into the margin to explain \"the same year,\" from where it has crept into the text.\nGibeon - A city of priests Jos 21:17. Hananiah was probably a priest as well as a prophet. He chose either a Sabbath or a new moon, that he might confront Jeremiah not only in the presence of the priests, but also of all the people. He used Jer 28:2 the solemn formula which claims direct inspiration.\nWithin two full years - literally, In yet two years even days. Hananiah probably was induced to fix this date by the expectation that the confederacy then on foot would defeat Nebuchadnezzar.\nJeconiah - Zedekiah not being popular, the people would have preferred the young king, who had not reigned long enough to make enemies. Probably also Zedekiah had started for Babylon Jer 51:59.\nJeremiah's own wishes concurred with Hananiah's prediction, but asserts that that prediction was at variance with the language of the older prophets.\nThen shall the prophet ... - Or, \"shall be known as the prophet whom the Lord hath truly sent.\"\nThe multitude would see in Hananiah's act a symbol of deliverance.\nI will cast thee - Rather, I send thee away. God had not sent Hananiah to prophesy, but He does now send him away to die.\nTaught rebellion - As Nebuchadnezzar was Yahweh's servant, to teach rebellion against him was to teach rebellion against his Master.","title":"Notes on the Bible by Albert Barnes: Jeremiah: Jeremiah Chapter 28","type":"page"}
