Jeremiah 38:7-13
7Now when Ebed-melechH5663 the Ethiopian, a eunuchH5631, who was in the king’sH4428 houseH1004, heardH8085 that they had putH5414 JeremiahH3414 in the dungeon (the kingH4428 then sittingH3427 in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144), 8Ebed-melechH5663 wentH3318 forthH3318 out of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and spake to the kingH4428, sayingH559, 9My lordH113 the kingH4428, these menH376 have done evilH7489 in all that they have done to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, whom they have castH7993 into the dungeon; and he is like to dieH4191 in the placeH8478 whereH834 he is, because of the famineH7458; for there is no more breadH3899 in the cityH5892. 10Then the kingH4428 commandedH6680 Ebed-melechH5663 the Ethiopian, sayingH559, TakeH3947 from hence thirtyH7970 menH376 with thee, and takeH3947 up JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 out of the dungeon, before he dieH4191. 11So Ebed-melechH5663 tookH3947 the menH376 with him, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 under the treasuryH214, and tookH3947 thence ragsH4418 and worn-outH1094 garments, and let them down by cordsH2256 into the dungeon to JeremiahH3414. 12And Ebed-melechH5663 the Ethiopian saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414, PutH7760 now these ragsH4418 and worn-outH1094 garments under thine armholes under the cordsH2256. And JeremiahH3414 did soH3651. 13So they drewH4900 up JeremiahH3414 with the cordsH2256, and took him up out of the dungeon: and JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427 in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307.
