Jeremiah 43

Jeremiah 43:8
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Tahpanhes was where the Jews went to in Egypt to flee the predicted wrath of Babylon.  Jeremiah had told them to not go, or they would be destroyed there.  But they didn't listen, and went anyway.

Why did Jeremiah go with them?  Was he taken prisoner, and unable to chose whether to go?  Did God tell him to go with the people, even if they were making a bad choice?  Or had he decided that if the people were to die, that he should die with them?
