Verse 17
Sure enough, about two months later Hananiah died (cf. Jeremiah 28:1; 2 Kings 1:17; 2 Kings 7:19-20; 2 Kings 8:10-15; Ezekiel 11:13; Acts 5:1-11). The prophet who predicted deliverance in two years died in two months. God graciously gave him two months to repent before He put him to death. His death was another object lesson to the people on the importance of obeying God’s Word.
"In chapters 26-29 the deaths of four prophets are predicted and/or reported. Of the prophets named in these chapters, only Jeremiah survives to see the fulfillment of the prophecies given to him by the LORD." [Note: Scalise, p. 58.]
