Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 37:14

"Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes." — Jeremiah 37:14 (ASV)

Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. —These were probably, as a body, identical with those named in Jeremiah 36:12, but the party opposed to the prophet was now apparently stronger than they had been. Neither they nor Irijah would listen to the prophet’s denial of the accusation. The fact that the siege had been raised by the Chaldeans may have given fresh strength to the party of resistance. Possibly also many of the prophet’s friends had shared the captivity of Jehoiakim.
