Jeremiah - 39:16 Meaning

King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
39:15-18 Here is a message to assure Ebed-melech of a recompence for his great kindness to Jeremiah. Because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord. God recompenses men's services according to their principles. Those who trust God in the way of duty, as this good man did, will find that their hope shall not fail in times of the greatest danger.
“And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.”
