2. false prophets: prophets as official class, beside priests, character as false prophets: Isaiah 28:7; Jeremiah 2:26; Jeremiah 4:9; Jeremiah 6:13; Jeremiah 8:1, 10; Jeremiah 13:13; Jeremiah 14:18; Jeremiah 18:18; Jeremiah 23:11, 33, 34; Jeremiah 26:7, 8, 11, 16; Jeremiah 32:32; Zechariah 7:3, app. also 2 Kings 23:2; Nehemiah 9:32; Lamentations 2:20; Jeremiah 29:1; Ezekiel 7:26 (in these not characterized); always false (except of ancient and special prophets given above) in Amos 7:14; Hosea 4:5; Hosea 9:7, 8; Micah 3:5, 6, 11; Isaiah 3:2; Isaiah 9:14; Isaiah 29:10; Jeremiah 2:8, 30; Jeremiah 5:13, 31; Jeremiah 14:13, 14, 15 (twice in verse); Jeremiah 23:9 + 16 times Jeremiah 27:9, 14, 15, 16, 18; Jeremiah 29:8, 15; Jeremiah 37:19; Ezekiel 13:2 (twice in verse); Ezekiel 13:3, 4, 9, 16; Ezekiel 14:4, 7, 9 (twice in verse); Ezekiel 14:10; Ezekiel 22:25, 28; Zephaniah 3:4; Lamentations 2:9, 14; Lamentations 4:13; especially discredited Deuteronomy 13:2; Deuteronomy 13:4; Deuteronomy 13:6; Deuteronomy 18:20 (twice in verse); Deuteronomy 18:22 (twice in verse); Zechariah 13:2, 4, 5; such a prophet Hananiah called הַנָּבִיא Jeremiah 28:1, 5, 10, 12, 15, 17 (Greek Version of the LXX omits in all but Jeremiah 28:1, where ψευδοπροφήτης). Usage of prophets themselves gives such a bad flavour to נביא, that we are not surprised that it is absent from exilic Isaiah, the Wisdom Literature, and Psalms (except for special reasons in 3 Psalms given under 1).
3. heathen prophets 1 Kings 18:20; 1 Kings 19:1; 2 Kings 3:13 (twice in verse); נביאי האשׁדה 1 Kings 18:19; נביאי הבעל 1 Kings 18:19, 22, 25, 40; 2 Kings 10:19; 1 Kings 22:6, 10, 12, 13, 22, 23 2 Chronicles 18:5; 18:9; 18:11; 18:12; 18:21; 18:22.
