John Trapp on Jeremiah 38:7

Ver. 7. Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian] But a Proſelyte, and a Religious Prince; a ſtranger, but (as that good Samaritan in the Goſpel) more merciful then any of the Jewiſh Nation, who gloried in their priviledges: See Rom. 2.26, 27.

One of the Eunuches] And Eunuches, ſay the Rabbines, are ordinarily more cruel then other men: but ſo was not this Cuſhite. Piety is the fountain of all vertues whatſoever.

Which was in the Kings houſe] As Obadiah was in Ahabs, Nehemiah in Artaxerxes's, ſome good people in Herods, Luk. 8.3. and Nero's, Philip. 4 22. Cromwel and Cranmer in Henry the eighths.

The King then ſitting in the gate of Benjamin] Sitting in judgement, where Jeremyes enemies had once apprehended him for a fugitive, but durſt not try it out with him, though Ebedmelech there treated with the King for him in the preſence of ſome of them, as it is probable.
