Now when
Ebedmelech the
Ethiopian, one of the
eunuchs which was in the
king's house, heard that they had
put Jeremiah in the
dungeon; the
king then
sitting in the
gate of
Benjamin;

Ebedmelech went
forth out of the
king's house, and
spake to the
king, saying,
.$,l,M;h -l,a reB;d.y;w .$,l,M;h tyeBim .$,l,m -d,b,[ aeceY;w ? r{mael

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, and take
up Jeremiah the
prophet out of the
dungeon, before he
die.

So
Ebedmelech took the
men with
him, and
went into the
house of the
king under the
treasury, and
took thence
old cast
clouts and
old rotten
rags, and let them
down by
cords into the
dungeon to
Jeremiah.

And
Ebedmelech the
Ethiopian said unto
Jeremiah, Put now these
old cast
clouts and rotten
rags under thine
armholes under the
cords. And
Jeremiah did so.

So they drew
up Jeremiah with
cords, and took him
up out of the
dungeon: and
Jeremiah remained in the
court of the
prison.
