Scripture focus

Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.

Commentary on Jeremiah 38:4

Theological / Devotional

Put to death. The princes refused to accept the message of Jeremiah. They looked upon the prophet as a traitor, one that would desert to the Babylonians for personal safety. Compare ch. 37:11-15. They asked for the extreme penalty against Jeremiah.
