Jeremiah 37:3-5

Good News Translation

³ King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah to ask me to pray to the Lord our God on behalf of our nation. ⁴ I had not yet been put in prison and was still moving about freely among the people. ⁵ The Babylonian army had been besieging Jerusalem, but when they heard that the Egyptian army had crossed the Egyptian border, they retreated.
