**In the beginning ... Zedekiah -**Probably a gloss put into the margin to explain “the same year,” from where it has crept into the text.
**Gibeon -**A city of priests [Joshua 21:17](../../../kjv/joshua/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 [Jeremiah 28:2](../../../kjv/jeremiah/28/2) the solemn formula which claims direct inspiration.

**Within 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.

**Jeconiah -**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 [Jeremiah 51:59](../../../kjv/jeremiah/51/59).

**Then shall the prophet ... -**Or, “shall be known as the prophet whom the Lord hath truly sent.”

The multitude would see in Hananiah’s act a symbol of deliverance.

**I will cast thee -**Rather, I send thee away. God had not sent Hananiah to prophesy, but He does now send him away to die.
**Taught rebellion -**As Nebuchadnezzar was Yahweh’s servant, to teach rebellion against him was to teach rebellion against his Master.
