אתקשתי נתתי בענןIRIJAH, arrested the Prophet Jeremiah, as he was going from Jerusalem in order to retire to Anathoth, the place of his nativity; and carried him to Zedekiah, who delivered him to the great men of his court, with orders to put him into prison. These let him down into a well full of mud, where he must have died very soon, if Ebedmelech with the King’s permission had not taken him out. Jer. xxxvii. 13, &c.
