How preachers through history handled this text
16 public-domain excerpts on Jeremiah 26, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“24. Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death. 24. Veruntamen manus Achicam, filii Saphan, fuit cum Jeremia, ne traderetur ipse (vel, ne traderent ipsum) in manum populi ad interficiendum ipsum. There is here an adversative particle, and not without reason; for the contention is pointed out which had so raged that it became difficult to extricate the holy Prophet from danger. …”
— Calvin, Commentary on Jeremiah and Lamentations - Volume 3, on Jeremiah 26:24–30 (Public Domain)
