JEHUCAL

Son of Shelemiah who was sent by King Zedekiah to request Jeremiah’s prayers for Judah (Jer 37:3; 38:1). Later he tried to kill Jeremiah, who continued to prophesy the invasion of Jerusalem by the Babylonians, thereby undermining the confidence of the people and the army (38:1-6).

3 Eventually, King Tsidkiyah, Shelemyah’s son Yehukal, and Tsefanyah (Zephaniah) son of Ma’aseyah the priest, sent a message to the prophet Yirmiyah requesting him, “Pray on our behalf to our god, Yahweh.

38 Four officials, Matan’s son Shefatyah, Pashhur’s son Gedalyah, Shelemyah’s son Yehukal, and Malkiyah’s son Pashhur heard the messages that Yirmiyah (Jeremiah) was telling all the people, saying:

OET-RV JER 38:1

38 Four officials, Matan’s son Shefatyah, Pashhur’s son Gedalyah, Shelemyah’s son Yehukal, and Malkiyah’s son Pashhur heard the messages that Yirmiyah (Jeremiah) was telling all the people, saying:

OET-RV JER 38:2

2 Yahweh says this: Anyone who stays in this city will be killed by fighting, famine, or deadly diseases, but anyone who goes out to the Babylonians will survive—they won’t be killed.

OET-RV JER 38:3

3 Yahweh says that this city will definitely be taken over and captured by the Babylonian king.

OET-RV JER 38:4

4 So those officials went to King Tsidkiyah (Zedekiah) and requested that Yirmiyah be executed because (they claimed) his messages were discouraging their warriors defending the city and discouraging all the people. They claimed that he wasn’t advancing the people’s safety, but causing harm.

OET-RV JER 38:5

5 “All right,” King Tsidkiyah replied. “Do whatever you want with him, because no king can argue against all of you.”

OET-RV JER 38:6

6 So they took Yirmiyah and put him into the water storage cistern carved out by the king’s son Malkiyah. It was right there in the guards’ courtyard, and they lowered Yirmiyah down with ropes. There wasn’t any water left in the cistern, but it was still muddy at the bottom and he sank down into the mud.
