Jeremiah 37:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 And when[a] he was at the Gate of Benjamin, there was a sentry on duty[b] whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying,[c] “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!” 14 And Jeremiah said, “That is a lie! I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But he would not listen to him. So Irijah seized Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. 15 And the officials were angry at Jeremiah and they struck him. And they put him in prison,[d] in the house of Jonathan the secretary, for they had converted it to the prison[e].
