King Zedekiah Permits Gedaliah and Jehuchal to Throw Jeremiah into the Pit
Jeremiah warned King Zedekiah that the aid from Pharaoh’s army would only be temporary, and that the Babylonians would return to take Jerusalem.Jeremiah 38:2“This is what the L-RD says: ‘This city will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, who will capture it.’ ”The king’s officials feared that Jeremiah’s prophecy would discourage warriors from fighting and weaken their forces. King Zedekiah permitted his officials to take Jeremiah and do with him what they saw fit. Jeremiah 38:6They lowered Jeremiah with ropes into the pit, which had no water but only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud.At the City of David, a large ancient cistern was discovered. Its proximity to the ancient governmental area of Jerusalem suggests that it might have been the pit that Jeremiah was lowered into.

“This is what the L-rd says: ‘This city will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, who will capture it.’ ” Then the officials (Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehuchal son of Shelemiah) said to the king (Zedekiah), “This man should be put to death…” They lowered Jeremiah with ropes into the pit, which had no water but only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud.
