Jeremiah 38:28 BBE

²⁶  Then you are to say to them, I made my request to the king, that he would not send me back to my death in Jonathan's house.

²⁷  Then all the rulers came to Jeremiah, questioning him: and he gave them an answer in the words the king had given him orders to say. So they said nothing more to him; for the thing was not made public.

²⁸  So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen till the day when Jerusalem was taken.
