“Now when Ebed–melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;”
A rescuer appears: 'Now Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the cistern.' Ebed-melech, a foreign official (likely a slave), becomes aware of Jeremiah's peril. God raises up protectors even from unexpected sources.
