Commentary on Jeremiah 37:21

King Zedekiah commits Jeremiah to 'the court of the prison' and orders daily bread while available. Despite his fear of officials (38:5), Zedekiah protects Jeremiah from execution. This ambivalence characterizes Zedekiah - drawn to God's prophet but lacking courage to obey. God providentially preserves His servant even through an irresolute king.
