Jeremiah 41
41:1And it came to pass in the seventh month came Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the family of the king, and leaders of the king, and ten men with him to Gedaliah in Mizpah; and they ate bread together there.
41:2And Ishmael rose up, and the ten men who were with him, and they struck Gedaliah by sword, and they killed him, whom the king of Babylon established over the land,
41:3and all the Jews being with him in Mizpah, and all the Chaldeans being found there. And Ishmael stuck the men warriors.
41:4And it came to pass in the second day of his striking Gedaliah, that no man knew of it;
41:5And there came men of Shechem from Shiloh, and from Samaria -- eighty men, being shaven of beards, and having the garments being torn, and beating their chests, and gifts and frankincense was in their hands to carry into the house of the lord.
41:6And Ishmael son of Nethaniah came forth to meet them from Mizpah, and they went and wept. And he said to them, Enter to Gedaliah!
41:7And it happened in their entering in the midst of the city, that he slew them at the well -- he and the men, the ones with him.
41:8And ten men were found there. And they said to Ishmael, You should not do away with us, for there are with us treasures in the field, wheat and barley, and honey, and olive oil. And he passed by and did not do away with them in the midst of their brethren.
41:9And the well into which Ishmael tossed all whom he struck was a great well. This is the one which king Asa made from fear in front of Baasha king of Israel. This well Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled of slain ones.
41:10And Ishmael returned all the people being left behind in Mizpah, and the daughters of the king who were deposited in the care of the chief guard by Gedaliah son of Ahikam. And he set out unto the other side of the sons of Ammon.
41:11And Johanan son of Kareah heard, and all the leaders of the force with him, all the evil things which Ishmael son of Nethaniah did.
41:12And he led all their encamped army, and set out to wage war against him; and he found him at the water of the great pool in Gibeon.
41:13And it came to pass when all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the force with him, they were glad,
41:14and they returned to Johanan.
41:15But Ishmael escaped with eight men, and set out towards the sons of Ammon.
41:16And Johanan took, and all the leaders of the force with him, all the remnant of the people whom he returned from Ishmael son of Nethaniah from Mizpah -- after his striking Gedaliah son of Ahikam -- mighty men in war, and the women, and the rest of the things, and the eunuchs, whom he returned from Gibeon.
41:17And they set out and stayed in Chimham, the one by Beth-lehem, to go into Egypt,
41:18from the face of the Chaldeans. For they feared from their face, for Ishmael struck Gedaliah whom the king of Babylon established in the land.
