The sons of Hananiah: Pelatiah and Jeshaiah, whose son was Rephaiah, and his son Arnan, and his son was Obadiah, and his son was Shecaniah.
And thereto there went of the said children of Simeon five hundred men - Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel the sons of Ishi being their heads -
Moreover, the spirit of the LORD lift me up, and brought me unto the east port of the LORD's house. And behold, there were twenty five men under the door: among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the rulers of the people. Then said the LORD unto me, "Thou son of man: these men imagine mischief, and a wicked counsel take they in this city, read more. saying, 'Tush, there is no destruction at hand, let us build houses: this Jerusalem is the cauldron, and we be the flesh.' Therefore shalt thou prophesy unto them: yea, prophesy shalt thou unto them, O son of man." And with that fell the spirit of the LORD upon me, and said unto me, "Speak, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: On this manner have ye spoken, O ye house of Israel, and I know the imaginations of your hearts. Many a one have ye murdered in this city, and filled the streets full of the slain. Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD God: The slain men that ye have laid on the ground in this city, are the flesh, and this city is the cauldron: But I will bring you out of it. Ye have drawn out the sword, even so will I also bring a sword over you, sayeth the LORD God. I will drive you out of this city and deliver you into your enemies' hand, and will condemn you. Ye shall be slain in all the coasts of Israel. I will be avenged of you: to learn you for to know that I am the LORD. This city shall not be your cauldron, neither shall ye be the flesh therein: but in the coasts of Israel will I punish you, that ye may know that I am the LORD, in whose commandments ye have not walked, nor kept his laws: but have done after the customs of the Heathen, that lie round about you.'" Now when I preached, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, "O LORD God, wilt thou then utterly destroy all the remnant in Israel?"

4. One of the 25 princes; ringleader of the scorners "devising mischief." Like Ananias (Ac 5:5) stricken dead; an earnest of the destruction of the rest, as Ezekiel foretold (Eze 11:1-13). The prophet fell on his face thereupon saying, "Ah! Lord God! wilt Thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?" The people regarded Pelatiah as a mainstay of the city. His name suggested hope, from paalat "to escape," or Yah pileet, "God delivers." Is that hope to be disappointed? asks Ezekiel; is his death a token that all, even the remnant, shall be destroyed?

When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and gave up the ghost. And great fear came on all them that these things heard.
