Jeremiah 43:2-5 records these same leaders rejecting the word they are about to hear—a direct contrast to their summons here.

Jeremiah 40:8 lists Johanan and the captains who came to Gedaliah—the same men Jeremiah now calls in verse 8.

Jeremiah 41:11-16 shows Johanan leading the captains to rescue captives—they are the same group Jeremiah now calls together.

Jeremiah 40:13 mentions Johanan and the captains again—reiterating the identity of those Jeremiah summons here.
