Jeremiah 38:7-13 And Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian heard (now he was in the king's household) that they had put Jeremiah into the dungeon; and the king was in the Gate of Benjamin.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian heard (now he was in the king's household) that they had put Jeremiah into the dungeon; and the king was in the Gate of Benjamin. ⁸ And he went forth to him, and spoke to the king and said, ⁹ You have done evil in what you have done to slay this man with hunger, for there is no more bread in the city. ¹⁰ And the king commanded Ebed-Melech, saying, Take with you thirty men from here, and bring him up out of the dungeon, that he die not. ¹¹ So Ebed-Melech took the men and went into the underground part of the king's house, and took from there old rags and old ropes, and threw them down to Jeremiah into the dungeon. ¹² And he said, Put these under the ropes. And Jeremiah did so. ¹³ And they pulled him up with the ropes, and lifted him out of the dungeon. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
