Jeremiah 38:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ he rushed out to the Gate of Benjamin where the king was holding court.

⁹ “My lord the king,” he said, “these men have done a very evil thing in putting Jeremiah into the cistern. He will die of hunger, for almost all the bread in the city is gone.”

¹⁰ Then the king commanded Ebed-melech to take thirty men with him and pull Jeremiah out before he died.
