Jeremiah 38:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ Ebed-Melech left the ·palace [^Lhouse of the king] and went to the king. Ebed-Melech said to him, ⁹ “My master and king, these rulers have acted in an evil way. They have treated Jeremiah the prophet badly. They have thrown him into a ·well [cistern; pit] and left him there to die! ·When there [or There] is no more bread in the city, he will starve to death.”

¹⁰ Then King Zedekiah commanded Ebed-Melech the Cushite, “Take thirty men from the palace and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the ·well [cistern; pit] before he dies.”
