Ebedmelech

"A servant of the king; probably an official title, an Ethiopian," "one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house; i.e., in the" "palace of Zedekiah, king of Judah. He interceded with the king" "in Jeremiah's behalf, and was the means of saving him from death" by famine (Jer. 38:7-13: comp. 39:15-18).
