Jeremiah 26:18 - Additional Comments
See Micah 3:12.
Did Hezekiah, and the people of Judah, complain of Micah the prophet? Did they impeach him, or make an act to silence him and put him to death? No; on the contrary, they took the warning he gave them. Hezekiah, that renowned prince, set a good example before his successors, for he feared the Lord (vs 19). Micah's preaching drove him to his knees; he besought the Lord to turn away the judgment threatened and to be reconciled to them, and he found it was not in vain to do so, for the Lord forgave them and returned in mercy to them; he sent an angel, who routed the army of the Assyrians, that threatened to plough Zion like a field. Hezekiah benefited from the preaching. And so, you can be sure he would do no harm to the preacher!
These elders now conclude that it would be of dangerous consequence to the nation if they should gratify the insistence of the priests and prophets in putting Jeremiah to death. They knew it would heap great trouble against them.
