Psalms 105:20
The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
BSB
ASV
The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
KJV
The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
The king sent and loosed him. He was thrust into the roundhouse by an officer, but he was released by the monarch himself. Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. The tide had turned, so that Egypt's haughty potentate gave him a call from the prison to the palace. He had interpreted the dreams of captives, himself a captive; he must now interpret for a ruler and become a ruler himself. When God means to enlarge his prisoners, kings become his turnkeys.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk5
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Arioch hastily brought Daniel before the king and said to him, “I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who will tell the king the interpretation.”
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump
until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts.
