Ebedmelech the Ethiopian speaks to the king and takes men with him, and they lift Jeremiah up out of the dungeon with cords

구스인 에벳멜렉이 왕께 고하고 사람들을 데리고 가서, 그들이 예레미야를 구덩이에서 줄로 끌어냄

Jeremiah 38:7–13: the text says, “Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king was then sitting in Benjamin’s gate),” and 38:8 goes on: Ebedmelech goes out of the king’s house, and speaks to the king, saying, “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon. He is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.” Then the king commands Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.” So Ebedmelech takes the men with him, and goes into the house of the king under the treasury, and takes from there rags and worn-out garments, and lets them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah. Ebedmelech the Ethiopian says to Jeremiah, “Now put these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords.” Jeremiah does so. The text says, “So they lifted Jeremiah up with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.” The Korean Revised Version gives 38:7 as a sentence of its own (… 던져 넣었음을 들으니라 때에 왕이 베냐민 문에 앉았더니: he heard …; at that time the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin), and reads 왕궁 환관 (a eunuch of the king’s house), where WEB reads “a eunuch, who was in the king’s house”.
