And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, [and] in the fifth month, [that] Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which [was] of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Jeremiah 28:1 — KJV
The same year. The time of ch. 28, that is, the 4th year of Zedekiah’s reign (approximately 593 B.C.), follows not long after that of ch. 29.
Hananiah. This man seems to have been one of Jeremiah’s most prominent opponents and one of the leaders of the resistance party that was endeavoring to form an alliance with the neighboring nations against Babylon (see ch. 27).
Gibeon. Like Anathoth, this was one of the cities of priests (see Joshua 21:13, 17, 18). This may indicate that Hananiah, like Jeremiah, was a priest as well as a “prophet.” At one time “the tabernacle of the Lord” was at Gibeon (1 Kings 3:4; 1 Chron. 16:39; 2 Chron. 1:3). Gibeon, the modern ej-Jib, was 51/4 mi. (8.4 km.) northwest of Jerusalem.
