Notes
The false prophet's message claimed that Jehoiachin would return. This implied that Zedekiah had a lower status as ruler over the kingdom of Judah (see study note on Ezekiel 1:2).
declares the LORD: Hananiah ended with the same strong appeal to divine authority that Jeremiah often used.
Shortly after the events of Jeremiah 27, a false prophet named Hananiah publicly challenged Jeremiah in the Temple courtyard. Each prophet claimed to deliver a message from the Lord, but only Jeremiah's prediction was accurate.
