11Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard, saying,1 2 12Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.3 13So Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rab–saris, and Nergal–sharezer, Rab–mag, and all the king of Babylon’s princes;4 14Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
