Gill's Notes on the Bible
For I will surely deliver thee,.... Or, in "delivering will deliver thee" p; this is a repetition and confirmation of what is promised in Jeremiah 39:17, and more fully explains it:
and thou shall not fall by the sword: by the sword of the Chaldeans, when the city should be taken, as he feared he should:
but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: shall be safe; be like a prey taken out of the hand of the mighty, and be enjoyed beyond expectation, having been given up for lost; and therefore matter of the greater joy, such as is expressed at the taking of spoils:
because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord. The Targum is, "in my word"; what he had done in serving the prophet, and other good actions, sprung from a principle of faith and confidence in the Lord; and this the Lord had a respect unto; without which works are not right; and without which it is impossible to please God with them; and which faith may be, and be true, where fears are.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A prey unto thee - An unexpected and unlooked-for gain. He had given proof of faith in courageously delivering God’s prophet.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 39:18. I will surely deliver thee — Thou hast feared the Lord, and not the king, nor his princes, and thou hast taken the part of the prophet, and become his intercessor. Thou shalt not be slain. Thou hast put thy trust in me; thou shalt therefore be safe whithersoever thou goest. They that fear God need fear nothing besides.
