32:2 Jerusalem had been under siege since January 588 BC (2 Kgs 25:1). • Jeremiah favored surrender to the Babylonians, but the thought angered many who believed that they could successfully defy the foreign army. To protect Jeremiah, Zedekiah imprisoned him in the courtyard of the guard (Jer 37:21).
