Jeremiah29:21

21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesie a lye unto you in my name, Behold I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall slay them before your eyes .

Of these two persons we read no more in Holy Writ; that they pretended to be Prophets, that they abused the name of God, pretending to reveal his Will, when as what they said was not the Will of God, but a falshood, we learn out of this verse, and that they were both of them burnt by the King of Babylon we find in ver. 22. what the falshoods they published were, is not expressed, but it is most probable they were some of those that pretended that God had revealed to them, that within two years, or a short time, the Captives carried away with Iehoiakim should return out of Babylon. God here tells those that were of the Captivity, that those two Wretches should themselves be carried unto the Captivity of Babylon, and there slain.
