16“Go and tell Ebed-melech the Cushite that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I am about to fulfill My words against this city for harm and not for good, and on that day they will be fulfilled before your eyes.
17But I will deliver you on that day, declares the LORD, and you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you fear.
18For I will surely rescue you so that you do not fall by the sword. Because you have trusted in Me, you will escape with your life like a spoil of war, declares the LORD.’”

Jeremiah 39:18 Summary
[Jeremiah 39:18 is a promise from God that He will rescue and protect those who trust in Him, just like He did for Ebed-melech. This means that when we put our faith in God, we can be confident that He will take care of us, even in difficult situations (Psalm 23:4). God's rescue can take many forms, but it always involves His love and power working on our behalf (Romans 8:28). By trusting in God, we can experience His deliverance and preservation, just like Ebed-melech did, and emerge victorious in the end (2 Timothy 4:18).]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'trust in' the Lord, as mentioned in Jeremiah 39:18?
Trusting in the Lord means having faith in His power, love, and goodness, as seen in Deuteronomy 31:6 and Psalm 37:3-4, and relying on Him for our salvation and protection.
How does God 'rescue' us, as promised in Jeremiah 39:18?
God's rescue can take many forms, including physical deliverance, as in Exodus 14:13-14, and spiritual salvation, as in Romans 10:9-10, where we are saved from the penalty of sin through faith in Jesus Christ.
What is meant by 'escape with your life like a spoil of war' in Jeremiah 39:18?
This phrase means that God will preserve our lives, even in the midst of great danger or turmoil, and we will emerge victorious, much like the spoils of war are taken by the winning side, as seen in Isaiah 53:12 and 2 Timothy 4:18.
Is this promise in Jeremiah 39:18 only for Ebed-melech, or can it apply to us today?
While this specific promise was made to Ebed-melech, the principle of trusting in God and being rescued by Him is a universal theme throughout the Bible, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6 and 2 Thessalonians 3:3, and can be applied to our lives today.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's power and goodness, and how can I apply Jeremiah 39:18 to those situations?
- How has God 'rescued' me in the past, and what can I learn from those experiences about His faithfulness and love?
- In what ways can I 'escape with my life like a spoil of war' in my daily life, and how can I trust God to preserve me in the midst of challenges and dangers?
- What does it mean for me to 'trust in' the Lord, and how can I cultivate a deeper trust in Him, as seen in Jeremiah 39:18 and other Bible verses?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 39:18
For I will surely deliver thee,.... Or, in "delivering will deliver thee" (p); this is a repetition and confirmation of what is promised in Jeremiah 39:17, and more fully explains it: and thou shall
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 39:18
Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying, Belonging to the time when the city was not yet taken, and when Jeremiah was still in the court of the prison (Jeremiah 38:13).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 39:18
For God would deliver him, so as he should not die by the sword; but how little else soever he saved, he should save his life, because he had put his trust in God, not fearing the wrath of men in the doing of what was his duty. We read no more in holy writ of this man, and so cannot tell how otherwise God dealt with him; only may be assured that he was not slain by the Chaldeans. And from this we may observe, 1. How kind God hath always declared himself to those who have showed the least kindness to those that have been his true and faithful ministers. 2. That the root of such good works as God rewardeth must be faith, a trusting in the Lord. 3. That those who do good works out of a principle of faith may yet be encumbered with slavish fears.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 39:18
Jeremiah 39:18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.Ver. 18. For I will surely deliver thee.] Heb., Delivering, deliver thee. It would be a great stay of mind, if God should say the same to us in particular and by name, as he doth here to this Ethiopian. And yet he saith no less to us in the precious promises, which we are by faith to appropriate. But thy life shall be for a prey unto thee.] Pro lucre cessura est. For saving my prophet’ s life, thou shall have thine own; so sure a gain is godliness. Because thou hast put thy trust in me.] What may not faith have at God’ s hands? Those that trust him, do, after a sort, engage him to deliver them, and to do them good.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 39:18
Verse 18. I will surely deliver thee] Thou hast feared the Lord, and not the king, nor his princes, and thou hast taken the part of the prophet, and become his intercessor. Thou shalt not be slain. Thou hast put thy trust in me; thou shalt therefore be safe whithersoever thou goest. They that fear God need fear nothing besides.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 39:18
18. thy life shall be for a prey unto thee] See on Jeremiah 21:9.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 39:18
A prey unto thee - An unexpected and unlooked-for gain. He had given proof of faith in courageously delivering God’s prophet.
