Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 38:28

28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison, until the day that Jerusalem was taken, and he was there when Jerusalem was taken .

Thus God hath several wayes to hide his people in an evil day, he hid Iosiah from it in the Grave, he hid Noah in an Ark, L[illegible: 1 letter]t in Zoar, Ieremy in a Prison, which in probability was a safer place for him, than the Land of Benjamin, whither he would have gone, had not Irijah stopt him, chap. 37.12, 13. Conquerors have commonly the greatest kindness, for those whom they find under the frowns of the conquered, especially when that which hath made them so hath been something spoken, or done in the favour of the Conquerors.
