These persons sent by Jehoiakim brought back the prophet by force; he was tried and cast, judged worthy to die, and put to death, and ignominiously buried, not in the sepulchres of the prophets, or any men of repute and fashion, but amongst the vulgar people; which, as also his diligence to send for Urijah, (fled into a foreign country to save his life,) showed the great malice of this prince against the Lord's true prophets; though it had but very ill effects. The sum is, (if we take these words as the speech of Jeremiah's enemies,) What do you tell us of what Hezekiah did, you have a later instance of it in our present king's time, the cases of Urijah and of Jeremiah are fully parallelled. So as the case is a judged case.
