Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 42:1

"Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near," — Jeremiah 42:1 (ASV)

Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah. —Possibly identical with Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite (Jeremiah 40:8). In Azariah the son of Hoshaiah (Jeremiah 43:2) we may recognize his brother. The Septuagint, indeed, reads Azariah here, and it is possibly the true reading.
