Jeremiah 37:11-15

11And it came to pass, that when the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 was broken upH5927 from JerusalemH3389 for fearH6440 of Pharaoh’sH6547 armyH2428,1 12Then JeremiahH3414 went forthH3318 out of JerusalemH3389 to goH3212 into the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, to separateH2505 himself thence in the midstH8432 of the peopleH5971.2 13And when he was in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, a captainH1167 of the wardH6488 was there, whose nameH8034 was IrijahH3376, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608; and he tookH8610 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, Thou fallest awayH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778. 14Then saidH559 JeremiahH3414, It is falseH8267; I fall not awayH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778. But he hearkenedH8085 not to him: so IrijahH3376 tookH8610 JeremiahH3414, and broughtH935 him to the princesH8269.3 15Wherefore the princesH8269 were wrothH7107 with JeremiahH3414, and smoteH5221 him, and putH5414 him in prisonH612 in the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5608: for they had madeH6213 that the prisonH3608.
