3. two full years—literally, "years of days." So "a month of days," that is, all its days complete (Genesis 29:14, Margin; Genesis 41:1). It was marvellous presumption to speak so definitely without having any divine revelation. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 28:4
4. bring again . . . Jeconiah—not necessarily implying that Hananiah wished Zedekiah to be superseded by Jeconiah. The main point intended was that the restoration from Babylon should be complete. But, doubtless, the false prophet foretold Jeconiah's return ( :-), to ingratiate himself with the populace, with whom Jeconiah was a favorite (see on :-). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 28:2-3
Hananiah prophesied that Yahweh had broken Babylon’s authority over Judah. Within two years the Lord would return to the temple the vessels that Nebuchadnezzar had already taken to Babylon. Hananiah, whose name means "Yahweh has been gracious," announced a message that Yahweh would be gracious. There are about 14 different Hananiahs in the Old Testament; his was a common name. This man probably appears only here, though he may have been the brother of Jaazaniah whom Ezekiel denounced (Ezekiel... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 28:4
The Lord would also return Jeconiah (Jehoiachin) and the people who went with him to Babylon as captives, Hananiah predicted, because Yahweh would break Babylon’s yoke. This flatly contradicted Jeremiah’s prophecy that Jeconiah would die in Babylon (Jeremiah 22:24-27; cf. Jeremiah 52:31-34). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 28:1-17
1-11. Opposition of Hananiah and the false prophets.2. Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel] a formula of Jeremiah’s, and hence, perhaps, assumed by Hananiah as implying an equal claim to inspiration.6. Amen: the Lord do so] i.e. would that it might be so.7-9. Hananiah’s forecasts of peace being in opposition to those of his predecessors, the presumption is against him, and can only be removed by the fulfilment of his predictions (the test laid down in Deuteronomy 18:22), which... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 28:2
(2) I have broken the yoke . . .—The word is obviously used with special reference to the symbol which Jeremiah had made so conspicuous (Jeremiah 27:2). With something, it may be, of ironical repetition, he reproduces the very formula with which the true prophet had begun his message. He, too, can speak in the name of “the Lord of Sabaoth, the God of Israel.” read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 28:3
(3) Within two full years.—Literally, two years of days. Hananiah, not deterred by the previous warnings of Jeremiah, becomes bolder in the definiteness of his prediction. The conspiracy of Judah and the neighbouring states against Nebuchadnezzar was clearly ripening, and he looked on its success as certain. Prediction stood against prediction, and, as there were no signs or wonders wrought, men had to judge from what they knew of the lives of the men who uttered them which of them was most... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 28:4
(4) And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim . . .—We get here a new glimpse into the nature of the anti-Chaldæan confederacy. Zedekiah was to be deposed as too submissive to Nebuchadnezzar, and the young Jeconiah was to be brought back from his prison at Babylon, and re-established in the kingdom as the representative of the policy of resistance, resting on the support of Pharaoh-Hophra. read more
