Jeremiah 38:9
My lord the king, these men have done evil - He must have been much in the king' s confidence, and a humane and noble spirited man, thus to have raised his voice against the powerful cabal already mentioned.
There is no more bread in the city - They had defended it to the last extremity; and it appears that bread had been afforded to the prophet according to the king' s commandment, as long as there was any remaining. See Jeremiah 36:21.
