ebedmelech 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 {Ebedmelech} went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying, ebedmelech 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. ebedmelech 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. ebedmelech 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. ebedmelech Go and speak to {Ebedmelech} the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be [accomplished] in that day before thee. ~~~~~~
