Jeremiah 29:21

Of these two prophets nothing further is known. The LXX omit the fathers" names, and the words "which prophesy … name." Co. denies, while Du. and Gi. admit, the historical accuracy of the story, Du. pointing out that, had the prediction not been fulfilled, the passage would not have appeared in the Book.

Kolaiah, curse(kĕlâlâh) and roasted(kâlâh) are three such similar words that a play on them as used in these verses seems intended. The son of Kolaiahwas to be called Kĕlâlâh (a curse) because the king of Babylon kâlâh (roasted) him in the fire. It may have been for sedition or for an attack on Babylonian worship that the two met their end.
