Jeremiah 38:26

then you shall say to them, I made a humble plea to the king that he would not send me back to the house of Jonathan to die there .

then tell them, ‘I was pleading with the king not to send me back to Jonathan`s house to die there.`”

Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.
