Jeremiah 38:26-28

Contemporary English Version

²⁶ So if they question you, tell them you were begging me not to send you back to the prison at Jonathan's house, because going back there would kill you.”

²⁷ The officials did come and question me about my meeting with the king, and I told them exactly what he had ordered me to say. They never spoke to me about the meeting again, since no one had heard us talking.

^28 (A) I was held in the courtyard of the palace guards until the day Jerusalem was captured.
