“Then the king commanded Ebed–melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.”
The rescue: 'So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the house of the king, to a wardrobe in the storehouse, and took from there old rags and worn-out clothes.' Ebed-melech's tender care demonstrates compassion. Even in rescue, the weaker person is treated with care.
