Jeremiah 38:24-28 - Jeremiah And Zedekiah Make An Agreement
24 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, "Look that nobody know of these words, and thou shalt not die. 25 But if the princes perceive that I have talked with thee, and come unto thee, saying, 'O speak, what said the king to thee? hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death. Tell us, we pray thee: what said the king to thee?' 26 See thou give them this answer, 'I have humbly besought the king, that he will let me lie no more in Jonathan's house, that I die not there.'" 27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him. And he told them, after the manner as the king bade him. Then they held their peace, for they perceived nothing. 28 So Jeremiah abode still in the fore entry of the prison, until the day that Jerusalem was won.
