Jeremiah 38:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ But Ebed-Melech heard that the officers had put Jeremiah into the well. Ebed-Melech was a Cushite, and he was a eunuch in the palace. King Zedekiah was sitting at the Benjamin Gate. 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.”
