Jeremiah 38:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ So Ebed-Melech left the palace and went to the king. Ebed-Melech said, ⁹ “My master and king, the rulers have acted in an evil way. They have treated Jeremiah the prophet badly! They have thrown him into a well! They have left him there to die! When there is no more bread in the city, he will starve.”

¹⁰ Then King Zedekiah commanded Ebed-Melech the Cushite: “Ebed-Melech, take 30 men from the palace with you. Go and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the well before he dies.”
