Jer. 28:1 Gibeon. A town 6 miles (9.7 km) northwest of Jerusalem. Thus, Hananiah, like Jeremiah, lived in the territory of Benjamin (1:1–3).
Jer. 28:2–4 Thus says the Lord. Hananiah claimed divine authority for his false prophecy. I have broken the yoke . . . Within two years. Hananiah contradicts Jeremiah’s prophecy concerning Babylon (27:8–11) and the temple’s vessels (27:19–22).
Jer. 28:8–9 Jeremiah’s point is that peace and security is the rarer of the two messages described here. Peace requires repentance (26:18–19), which has not occurred.
Jer. 28:12–15 God says that Hananiah’s prophecy turns the yoke-bars of surrender into a yoke of devastation by leading people to ignore God’s advice to surrender to Nebuchadnezzar (27:1–11).
Jer. 28:16–17 Hananiah’s prophecy was rebellion against the Lord. He died two months after uttering it (vv. 1–4).
