Jeremiah 34:19

Eunuchs. Often these were of foreign birth (see on ch. 38:7), who became proselytes when entering the service of the king. It was not uncommon for eunuchs to hold high position in Oriental courts, and those mentioned here, like the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, had probably made themselves rich by lending money to the poorer Israelites and then making them slave to secure compensation.
