And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died.

His sudden death proved that he was a false prophet!
Like Pelatiah, they would be“ no more” for defiantly visioning for Jerusalem“ a vision of peace, when there is no peace.”- Ezekiel 13: 3, 15, 16.
It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died.

And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died.
Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men;
among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the princes of the people.
