Verse 13

Jeremiah was leaving Jerusalem by the northern gate that led to the territory of Benjamin when Irijah, a captain of the guard, arrested him. [Note: Irijah’s ancestor, Hananiah, would not have been the same man who opposed Jeremiah (28:10).] He charged the prophet with defecting to the enemy. Jeremiah had urged others to submit to the Babylonians (Jeremiah 21:9; Jeremiah 38:2), and some of the people had taken his advice (Jeremiah 38:2; Jeremiah 38:19; Jeremiah 39:9; Jeremiah 52:15), so the charge was plausible.
