Jeremiah 38:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ Then you shall say to them, I was presenting to the king my humble plea that he would not send me back to Jonathan’s house to die there.

²⁷ Then came all the princes to Jeremiah and asked him [just what King Zedekiah had anticipated they would ask], and he told them all that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him, for what the conversation [with the king] had been was not discovered.

²⁸ So Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken [by the Chaldeans].
