26:1-34:22 PROPHECIES OF EXILE AND RETURNThe dangerous life of a prophet (26:1-24)Again Jeremiah went to the temple, where he could preach to people who came from all over Judah to worship.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 26:10

(10) When the princes of Judah heard these things . . .—The princes appear not to have been present when the words were spoken. The report was carried to them as they sat in council with the king, and they came down to the Temple and took their place, to watch and listen what would come next.
