What does Jeremiah 38:9-10 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.
Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee,c and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
