This disobedience occurs in a tense period after the fall of Jerusalem, where the people are faced with choices about their future.

The Key Word — שָׁמַע, sha.Ma'generated
The verb שָׁמַע (sha.Ma') means 'to hear' and encompasses listening with the intent to obey. It is often used in the Bible to denote a response to God's voice, indicating that hearing is not merely passive but involves action.
In this verse, the form is perfect, third person, masculine singular, indicating that Johanan did not just fail to hear but actively chose not to obey the command of the LORD. This highlights a significant moment of rebellion against divine instruction.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
Translations agree that Johanan and the commanders did not obey the LORD's command.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb שָׁמַע֩ governs the main clause, indicating the action of disobedience. The structure emphasizes the subject, Johanan and the commanders, and their refusal to listen to the LORD's command.
The sentence follows a straightforward order, presenting the subject first, followed by the action and the object, which is the command of the LORD. This clarity underscores the gravity of their disobedience.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שָׁמַע as ἤκουσεν (ēkousen), meaning 'he heard.' This choice maintains the emphasis on hearing but does not explicitly convey the refusal to obey, which is central in the Hebrew text.
This translation reflects a broader understanding of the term, focusing on the act of hearing rather than the subsequent action of obedience.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Jeremiah 43:4 shows that Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces did not obey the LORD's command to remain in the land of Judah. This disobedience is set against the backdrop of the challenges faced by the people after the fall of Jerusalem.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It indicates their refusal to follow God's guidance, which can lead to negative consequences, as seen in the surrounding narrative.
Staying in Judah was part of God's plan for His people, and disobeying this command reflects a lack of faith in God's protection and provision.
This verse highlights a recurring theme in Jeremiah of the people's disobedience to God's commands, which ultimately leads to their downfall.
We can learn the importance of listening to and obeying God's commands, even in difficult circumstances.

jo-ha'-nan (yochanan, "Yahweh has been gracious"; Ioanan; compare JEHOHANAN):
(1) Son of Kareah, and one of "the captains of the forces who were in the fields" (i.e. probably guerrilla bands), who allied with Gedaliah, governor of Judah, after the fall of Jerusalem, 586 BC (2Ki 25:23; Jer 40:7-43:7). He warned Gedaliah of the plot of Ishmael ben Nethaniah, who was instigated by the Ammonite king Baalis, to murder the governor; but the latter refused to believe him nor would he grant Johanan permission to slay Ishmael (Jer 40:8-16). After Ishmael had murdered Gedaliah and also 70 northern pilgrims, Johanan went in pursuit. He was joined by the unwilling followers of Ishmael, but the murderer escaped. Thereupon Johanan settled at…

Son of Kareah, a leading captain of the Jews after the destruction of Jerusalem, B. C. 588, who recognized the authority of Gedaliah, warned him in vain of the plot of Ishmael, and avenged his murder; but afterwards carried the remnant of the people to Egypt against the remonstrances of Jeremiah, who, unable to check his rebellious and idolatrous course, foretold divine judgments, which in due time were fulfilled, 2Ki 25:23-26 Jer 40:1-44:30.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]

Of these, in the Old Testament, `am, is overwhelmingly the most common (about 2,000 times), with le'om, and goy, next in order; but the various Hebrew words are used with very little or no difference in force (e.g. Pr 14:28; but, on the other hand, in Ps 44 contrast verses 12 and 14). Of the changes introduced by the Revised Version (British and American) the only one of significance (cited explicitly in the Preface to the English Revised Version) is the frequent use of the plural "peoples" (strangely avoided in the King James Version except Re 10:11; 17:15), where other nations than Israel are in question.

Judah
Praise, the fourth son of Jacob by Leah. The name originated in Leah’s words of praise to the Lord on account of his birth: “Now will I praise [Heb. odeh] Jehovah, and she called his name Yehudah” (Gen. 29:35).
It was Judah that interposed in behalf of Joseph, so that his life was spared (Gen. 37:26, 27). He took a lead in the affairs of the family, and “prevailed above his brethren” (Gen. 43:3-10; 44:14, 16-34; 46:28; 1 Chr. 5:2).
Soon after the sale of Joseph to the Ishmaelites, Judah went to reside at Adullam, where he married a woman of Canaan. (See ONAN; TAMAR.) After the death of his wife Shuah, he returned to his father’s house, and there exercised much…
(praised, celebrated), the fourth son of Jacob and the fourth of Leah. (B.C. after 1753.) Of Judah’s personal character more traits are preserved than of any other of the patriarchs, with the exception of Joseph, whose life he in conjunction with Reuben saved. (Genesis 37:26-28) During the second visit to Egypt for corn it was Judah who understood to be responsible for the safety of Benjamin, ch. (Genesis 43:3-10) and when, through Joseph’s artifice, the brothers were brought back to the palace, he is again the leader and spokesman of the band. So too it is Judah who is sent before Jacob to smooth the way for him in the land of Goshen. ch. (Genesis 46:28) This ascendancy over his brethren is reflected in the last words…
The fourth son of Jacob and Leah, born in Mesopotamia, B. C. 1755, Ge 29:35. His name appears honorably in the history of Joseph, Ge 37:26,27 44:16-34; but disgracefully in that of Tamar his daughter-in-law, Ge 38:1-30. The dying benediction of Jacob foretells the superior power and prosperity of the family of Judah, and their continuance as chief of the Jewish race until the time of Christ, Ge 49:8-12. Though not the firstborn, Judah soon came to be considered as the chief of Jacob’s children, and his tribe was the most powerful and numerous. The southeastern part of Palestine fell to their lot. See JUDEA. On the border of their territory was Jerusalem, the seat of the…
