John Trapp on Jeremiah 37:2-3

Ver. 2. But neither he nor his ſervants—did harken] And this was theis undoing, ſc. that they humbed not themſelves before this holy Prophet, ſpeaking unto them from the mouth of the Lord, 2 Chron. 36.12.

Ver, 3. Pray now unto the Lord our God for us] This King would ſeem to have ſome more goodneſſe in him then his brother and predeceſſour Jehojakim: but he played the hypocrite exceedingly, as in other things, ſo in this, that he obeyed the Prophets prayers, but would not obey his preaching. The like did Pharaoh, Saul, Simon Magus, &c. Hez[illegible: 1 letter]kiah, ſent to the Prophet I ſay for prayers, but withal he humbled himſelf, and lived holily, which Zedekiah did not.
