Jeremiah38:27
27 Then came all the princes to Jeremiah , and asked him h, 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 .
As the King suspected so it came to pass, the Kings private discourse with the Prophet took wind, and all the Princes then at Court came and inquired of Ieremiah what was the substance of his discourse.
Ieremiah answered them according as the King had directed. A man is not bound in all cases to speak the whole truth, much less to those who have nothing to do to inquire of us which these Princes had not.
By this means the Princes never knew the matter of this discourse.
Marginal references: Heb. They were silent from him.
