2 Raja-raja 8:15

8:15 The next day Hazael ¹  took a piece of cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over Ben Hadad’s ²  face until he died. Then Hazael replaced him as king.

Yeremia 20:6

20:6 You, Pashhur, and all your household ³  will go into exile in Babylon. You will die there and you will be buried there. The same thing will happen to all your friends to whom you have prophesied lies.’” ⁴ 

[8:15]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Hazael) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:15]  ² tn Heb “his”; the referent (Ben Hadad) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:6]  ³ tn Heb “all who live in your house.” This included his family and his servants.

[20:6]  ⁴ sn As a member of the priesthood and the protector of order in the temple, Pashhur was undoubtedly one of those who promulgated the deceptive belief that the Lord’s presence in the temple was a guarantee of Judah’s safety (cf. 7:4, 8). Judging from the fact that two other men held the same office after the leading men in the city were carried into exile in 597 b.c. (see Jer 29:25-26 and compare 29:1-2 for the date and 2 Kgs 24:12-16 for the facts), this prophecy was probably fulfilled in 597. For a similar kind of oracle of judgment see Amos 7:10-17.
