‏ Jeremiah 37:13

13. ward--that is, the "guard," or "watch."

Hananiah--whose death Jeremiah predicted (Jr 28:16). The grandson in revenge takes Jeremiah into custody on the charge of deserting ("thou fallest away," Jr 38:19; 52:15; 1Sa 29:3) to the enemy. His prophecies gave color to the charge (Jr 21:9; 38:4).
