Jeremiah 38:28 WEB

²⁶  then you shall tell them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.

²⁷  Then came all the princes to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.

²⁸  So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.
