Jeremiah 38:6-10
English Standard Version
7When Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch who was in the king 's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern — the king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate —
8Ebed-melech went from the king 's house and said to the king,
9"My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they did to Jeremiah the prophet by casting him into the cistern, and he will die there of hunger, for there is no bread left in the city."
10Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, "Take thirty men with you from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies."
