John Trapp on Jeremiah 38:10

Ver. 10. Then the King commended Ebedmelech] A ſweet providence of God, thus to incline the heart of this effeminate, cruel, inconſtant and impious King, to harken to the motion, and to give order for the Prophets deliverance from that deſperate and deadly danger. A good encouragement alſo to men to appear in a good cauſe and to act vigorouſly for God, notwithſtanding they are alone, and have to encounter with divers difficulties.

Take from hence thirty men with thee] Four or fewer might have done it: but perhaps the Princes with their forces might have endeavoured to hinder them, but that they ſaw them ſo ſtrong.
