John Trapp on Jeremiah 37:13

Ver. 13. Irijah, the ſon of Shelemiah, the ſon of Hananiah] Of that Hananiah, ſay the Rabbines, whoſe death Jeremy foretold, chap. 28.16, 17. This Irijah ferox adoleſcens, as Joſephus calleth him, a fierce young man, bearing Jeremiah a gradge, layeth hold on him in the gate, and layeth treachery to his charge:Tac[illegible: 1 letter]tus. unicum crimen eorum qui crimine vacabant.

Saying, Thou falleſt away to the Chaldaeans] Jeremy had ſpoken much of the Chaldaeans power, and foretold their victory. Hence he is here falſely accuſed of falling away to them, and being falſe to his Countrey. Indeed if the Chaldees could have fetcht off Jeremy, as the French King Lewis did Philip de Comines from the Duke of Burgundy (whoſe affaires thereupon declined immediately) they might have made very good advantage of him. But he was far enough from any ſuch compliance with them: and could better have ſaid then ever Tully did, Ne immortalitatem contra Remp. acciperem, I would not be falſe to my Countrey, for more then all this worlds good.
