“So Ebed–melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.”
Ebed-melech's instruction: '"Let these old rags and worn-out clothes be put under your armpits, under the ropes."' The detail of the rags demonstrates practical thoughtfulness. Care for the suffering includes attention to physical comfort.
