Jeremiah 38:26 Context
24¶ Then said Zedekiah vnto Ieremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die. 25But if the Princes heare that I haue talked with thee, and they come vnto thee, and say vnto thee, Declare vnto vs now what thou hast said vnto the king; hide it not from vs, and wee wil not put thee to death; also what the king said vnto thee: 26Then thou shalt say vnto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to returne to Ionathans house to die there. 27Then came all the Princes vnto Ieremiah, 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 perceiued. 28So Ieremiah abode in the court of the prison, vntill the day that Ierusalem was taken, and hee was there when Ierusalem was taken.
