      1  Jeremiah, by a false suggestion, is put into the dungeon of
        Malchiah.
     7  Edeb-melech, by suit, gets him some enlargement.
    14  Upon secret conference, he counsels the king by yielding
        to save his life.
    24  By the king's instructions he conceals the conference from
        the princes.

      This dungeon, which seems to have belonged to one of
      Zedekiah's sons, appears to have been a most dreadful place;
      the horrors of which were probably augmented by the cruelty
      of the jailor.  "The eastern people," observes Sir J.
      Chardin, "have not different prisons for the different
      classes of criminals; the judges do not trouble themselves
      about where the prisoners are confined, or how they are
      treated, considering it merely as a place of safety; and all
      that they require of the jailor is, that the prisoner be
      forthcoming when called for.  As to the rest, he is master to
      do as he pleases; to treat him well or ill; to put him in
      irons or not; to shut him up close, or hold him in easier
      restraint; to admit people to him, or to suffer nobody to see
      him.  If the jailor and his servants have large fees, let the
      person be the greatest rascal in the world, he shall be
      lodged in the jailor's own apartment, and the best part of
      it; and on the contrary, if those that have imprisoned a man
      give the jailor greater presents, or that he has a greater
      regard for them, he will treat the prisoner with the greatest
      inhumanity."  This adds a double energy to those passages
      which speak of "the sighing of the prisoner," and to
      Jeremiah's supplicating that he might not be remanded to the
      dungeon of Jonathan.  (ver. 26; ch. 20 37:20.)

      Mr. Harmer would render, "and here ({hennah,} or reading
      {hinneh,} behold,) the women (wont to sing on public
      occasions) shall say," etc.; observing "that these bitter
      speeches much better suit the lips of women belonging to the
      conquering nation, singing before a captive prince, than of
      his own wives and concubines."  This he illustrates by the
      following extract from Della Valle:  When he was at Lar, in
      Persia, the king of Ormuz was brought thither in triumph; and
      "this poor unfortunate king entered Lar, with his people, in
      the morning, music playing, and girls and women singing and
      dancing before him, according to the custom of Persia, and
      the people flocking together with a prodigious concourse, and
      conducting him in a pompous and magnificent manner,
      particularly with colors displayed, like what the Messenians
      formerly did to Philopoemen, the general of the Athenians,
      their prisoner of war, according to the report of Justin."

      impertinent and malicious inquiry.  We have then need to be
      "wise as serpents, and harmless as doves" (Mt 10:16), Scott.
