Azariah.
Jeremiah 43:2-11
2Then spoke Azariah
the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men,
saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent
thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
3 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us,
for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to
death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the
forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the
land of Judah.
5 But Johanan the son
of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah,
that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in
the land of Judah;
6 Even men, and women, and children, and the king's
daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left
with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet,
and Baruch the son of Neriah.
7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not
the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
8 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes,
saying,
9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay
in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the
sight of the men of Judah;
10 And say unto them,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon
these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver
such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and
such as are for the sword to the sword.
