A False Prophet Fights Jeremiah Over 'Yokes'JeremiYAH 28:1

[Months pass] in the same year [as the previous confrontation], (the fourth year of the reign of Judea's [evil] king ZedekYah {YAH's-Right}). Late summer [swelters] in YHVH's temple, 😇. [There false] prophet HananiYah {YAH-Favored} (the son of Gibeon {Flower-Hills} prophet Azur {Helpful}), challenges me [Jeremiah].

He [whines], “YHVH proclaims: ‘Just like this, within two full years, I'll break the yoke of Emperor Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon off the neck[s] of all nations.’” [Disgusted with this lie,] the prophet JeremiYah {YAH-Rises} [storms] out [of the temple].

JeremiYAH 28:12

Then, after [false] prophet HananiYah {YAH-Favored} breaks the yoke off the neck of [true] prophet JeremiYah {YAH-Rises}, YHVH's Word [again] comes [alive] in JeremiYah:
First you get publicly humiliated and rejected. THEN you hear YAH's word.

JeremiYAH 28:13

“Go [back to the temple]. Confront [phony priest] HananiYah {YAH-Favored}. Say: “YHVH decrees: ‘You broke [Jeremiah's] wooden crossbars. But your [insolence] comes to shackle [your nation] with yokes of iron.

JeremiYAH 28:15

So [in the temple, true] prophet JeremiYah {YAH-Rises} says to [false] prophet HananiYah {YAH-Favored}, “Now listen, HananiYah: YHVH never sent you. You [brainwash] this populace into running-for-refuge in sham[s].

Then, in Mizpah {WatchTower}, [young warrior] JAHohanan {YAH-Favored} (the son of Kareah) secretly speaks to GedaliYah {Great-YAH}. [JAHohanan] says, “Please dispatch me. I'll kill IshmaEl {El-Hears} (the spawn of NethaniYah {Given-By-YAH}). No one will learn [about] it. Why should [a foreign assassin] slay you? All the Jews amassed around you will scatter [if you die]. The surviving [people] in Judea will perish!”

JeremiYAH 40:16

But GedaliYah {Great-YAH} replies to (Kareh's [hot-blooded] son) JAHohanan {YAH-Favored}, “Don't commit this [murder]. You falsely [accuse] IshmaEl {El-Hears}.”

JeremiYAH 41:14

So all the people (whom IshmaEl dragged away captive from Mizpah {WatchTower}) turn. [They] race [west] to JAHohanan {YAH-Favored}.
Note that there is zero indication that Johanon fought Ishmael at all. No descriptions of violence occur in this account. Text incl. “the son of Kareah.”

JeremiYAH 41:15

Meanwhile, IshmaEl and 8 of his assassins escape from JAHohanan {YAH-Favored}. They run [east across the river] to [conspire with] the Ammon-spawn.

JeremiYAH 41:16

Then JAHohanan {YAH-Favored} (and all the heads of the work-forces with him) take all the remaining people they recover from IshmaEl (the murderer of GedaliYah {Great-YAH}). [JAHohanan] leads this [group of Babylonian] mighty men of war, [plus Israeli] women, children and officials. [They stream] back [southwest] from the flower-hills to MizPah.

Here and v8, lit. text incl.: the son of Kareah, and the son of HoshaYah [YAH-Saves]

JeremiYAH 42:8

So [JeremiYah] calls JAHohanan {YAH-Favored}, and all the heads of the labor-forces with him, and all [Judea's remnant] people from the least all the way to the greatest.

JeremiYAH 43:2

Then AzariYah {YAH-Helps} and JAHohanan {YAH-Favored} and all their arrogant men, [scream] at JeremiYah, “You're lying! YHVH our Elohim didn't send you to say, ‘Don't go into Egypt to live there!’
The nation around you rejects you when you tell them YAH's word. lit: the son of HoshaYah [YAH-Saves] & the son of Kareah

JeremiYAH 43:4

So, 😇, JAHohanan {YAH-Favored}, and all the heads of the [Israelite labor] forces, and all the [refugees], disobey YHVH's voice [when he tells them] to stay in the land of Judaea.

JeremiYAH 43:5

Instead, JAHohanan {YAH-Favored} and all the [labor] force leaders gather the whole Judean remnant, including [many refugees] recently returned to dwell in Judean territory after the [Babylonians] drove them to various nations.

So DaniEl {El-Judges} [cunningly] replies to [the steward/butler/guard] whom the prince of the eunuchs set over himself and [over] HananiYah {YAH-Favored}, MishaEl {Who-EL-Is} and AzariYah {YAH-Helps}:

Daniel 2:17

Then DaniEl {El-Judges} runs [back] to [the execution block in front of] his quarters. He explains [the dilemma to] his companions: HananiYah {YAH-Favored}, MishaEl {Who-EL-Is} and AzariYah {YAH-Helps}.)
