RF JER 37:1 King Zedekiah Asks Jeremiah to Pray for Judah.
When King Zedekiah-ben-Joshiah reigned instead of Koniah-ben-Jhoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, appointed king of the land of Judah,
RF JER 37:2 he, and his ministers, and the people of the country listened not to the messages of the EVER-LIVING which were delivered by means of Jeremiah the Preacher.
RF JER 37:3 Zedekiah, however, sent Jhukal-ben-Shelemiah, and Zefaniah-ben-Masiah, the priest, to Jeremiah the Preacher, to say, "Intercede now on account of us to our EVER-LIVING GOD."
RF JER 37:4 "For Jeremiah at that time came and went amongst the people for they had not put him into the House of Restraint,
RF JER 37:5 and the army of Pharoh was advancing from Mitzer, and when the Kasdim, who besieged Jerusalem, heard the report they departed from Jerusalem.
RF JER 37:6 Then the command of the EVER-LIVING came to the Preacher Jeremiah to say:
RF JER 37:7 "Thus says the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel,—Say to the king of Judah who has sent to you to enquire of Me,—' Be sure that the forces of Pharoh that are advancing to help you, will return to Mitzer.'
RF JER 37:8 The Kasdim also will return and assail this city, and capture it, and burn it with fire!
RF JER 37:9 Thus says the EVER-LIVING, "Do not raise your spirits by saying, The Kasdim have gone from us! For they are not gone!
RF JER 37:10 For if you defeated the whole force of the Kasdim who assailed you, and there were only wounded men left in their tents,—they would arise and burn this city with fire."
RF JER 37:11 Jeremiah Seized as a Deserter.
But when the army of the Kasdim retired from Jerusalem before the force of Pharoh,
RF JER 37:12 Jeremiah went out from Jerusalem to go to the district of Benjamin to the part belonging there to his people.
RF JER 37:13 But when he came to the Benjamin Gate, there was a captain on guard named Iriah-ben-Shelemiah, and he seized Jeremiah the Preacher, saying, "You are deserting to the Kasdim!"
RF JER 37:14 But Jeremiah answered "It is false! I am not deserting to the Kasdim!" He would not, however, listen to him. So Iriah seized Jeremiah the Preacher, and brought him to the generals,
RF JER 37:15 and the generals were furious against Jeremiah and flogged him, and put him in prison at the house of Jonathan the Recorder, who managed the House of Detention.
RF JER 37:16 Then Jeremiah was brought to the Pit-house, and the cells, and was detained a long time.
RF JER 37:17 At length king Zedekiah sent and fetched him, and the king enquired of him in private at his own palace,—and asked, "Is there any message from the EVER-LIVING?"
RF JER 37:18 Jeremiah Talks with King Zedekiah.
When Jeremiah asked King Zedekiah, "How have I offended you, and your ministers, and this people that they have put me into the House of Detention?
RF JER 37:19 Where are your Preachers who preached to you saying, 'The king of Babel will not come against you, or against this country?'
RF JER 37:20 But now, your Majesty listen I beg,—let my entreaty fall before you, and send me not back to the House of Jhonathan the Recorder, and let me not be killed there."
RF JER 37:21 King Zedekiah, consequently, ordered it, and they placed Jeremiah in the Court of the Guards, with a portion of food daily from the bakeries, until all the provisions were consumed from the city. So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the Guard.
