Ebed-melech

  • 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).
