Jeremías 26:24 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 26:24

Nevertheless, the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with
Jeremiah
Though this instance was urged as a precedent to go by, being lately done; or though the king's cruelty had been so lately exercised in such a manner; yet this man, who had been one of Josiah's courtiers and counsellors, ( 2 Kings 22:12 ) ; stood by Jeremiah, and used all his power, authority, and influence, in his favour: that they should not give him into the hand of the people, to put him
to death;
that the sanhedrim should not; who, by the last precedent mentioned, might seem inclined to it; but this great man, having several brothers, as well as other friends, that paid a regard to his arguments and solicitations; he prevailed upon them not to give leave to the people to put him to death, who appear to have been very fickle and mutable; at first they joined with the priests and false prophets against Jeremiah, to accuse him; but upon the judgment and vote of the princes, on hearing the cause, they changed their sentiments, and were for the prophet against the priests; and now, very probably, upon the instance of Urijah being given as a precedent, they altered their minds again, and were for putting him to death, could they have obtained leave of the court; and which only Ahikam's interest prevented.

22 Entonces el rey Joacim envió a Elnatan, hijo de Acbor, a Egipto junto con algunos otros hombres para que capturaran a Urías.

23 Lo tomaron prisionero y lo trajeron de regreso al rey Joacim. Así que el rey mató a Urías a espada y mandó que lo enterraran en una fosa común.

24 No obstante, Ahicam, hijo de Safán, respaldó a Jeremías y persuadió al tribunal de no entregarlo a la multitud para que lo matara.
