Jeremiah 38:26 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

I presented my supplication - This was telling the truth, and nothing but the truth, but not the whole truth. The king did not wish him to defile his conscience, nor did he propose any thing that was not consistent with the truth.
