You will certainly die this year.” ’ In the seventh month of that same year, the prophet Hananiah died.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 28:17
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 17So Hananiah - died the same year in the seventh month - The prophecy was delivered in the fifth month, ( Jeremiah 28:1;), and Hananiah died in the seventh month.
