SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:24
Pero la mano de Ahicam hijo de Safán era con Jeremías, para que no lo entregasen en las manos del pueblo para matarlo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 26:24
Verse 24. The hand of Ahikam-was with Jeremiah] And it was probably by his influence that Jeremiah did not share the same fate with Urijah. The Ahikam mentioned here was probably the father of Gedaliah, who, after the capture of Jerusalem, was appointed governor of the country by Nebuchadnezzar, chap. xl. 5. Of the Prophet Urijah, whether he was true or false, we know nothing but what we learn from this place. That they should not give him into the hand of the people] Though acquitted in the supreme court, he was not out of danger; there was a popular prejudice against him, and it is likely that Ahikam was obliged to conceal him, that they might not put him to death. The genuine ministers of God have no favour to expect from those who are HIS enemies.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The destruction of the temple and city foretold. (Jer. 26:1-6 Jeremiah's life is threatened. (Jer. 26:7-15) He is defended by the elders. (Jer. 26:16-24)
Jer. 26:1-6 God's ambassadors must not seek to please men, or to sav themselves from harm. See how God waits to be gracious. If the persisted in disobedience, it would ruin their city and temple. Can an thing else be expected? Those who will not be subject to the command of God, make themselves subject to the curse of God.
Jer. 26:7-15 The priests and prophets charged Jeremiah as deservin death, and bore false witness against him. The elders of Israel came to inquire into this matter. Jeremiah declares that the Lord sent him to prophesy thus. As long as ministers keep close to the word they have from God, they need not fear. And those are very unjust who complain of ministers for preaching of hell and damnation; for it is from a desir to bring them to heaven and salvation. Jeremiah warns them of their danger if they go on against him. All men may know, that to hurt, or put to death, or to show hatred to their faithful reprovers, wil hasten and increase their own punishment.
Jer. 26:16-24 When secure sinners are threatened with taking away the Spirit of God, and the kingdom of God, it is what is warranted from the word of God. Hezekiah who protected Micah, prospered. Did Jehoiakim who slew Urijah, prosper? The examples of bad men, and the ba consequences of their sins, should deter from what is evil. Urijah wa faithful in delivering his message, but faulty in leaving his work. An the Lord was pleased to permit him to lose his life, while Jeremiah wa protected in danger. Those are safest who most simply trust in the Lord, whatever their outward circumstances may be; and that He has all men's hearts in his hands, encourages us to trust him in the way of duty. He will honour and recompense those who show kindness to such a are persecuted for his sake __________________________________________________________________
