Gedaliah Assassinated by Ishmael

41In the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of the royal family and one of the king's chief officers, came with 10 men to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah. They ate a meal together there in Mizpah,H7637H2320H3458H1121H5418H1121H476H2233H4410H7227H4428H6235H582H935H1436H1121H296H4709H398H3899H3162H4708
2but then Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the 10 men who were with him got up and struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, with the sword; he killed the one the king of Babylon had appointed in the land.H6965H3458H1121H5418H6235H582H5221H1436H1121H296H1121H8227H2719H4191H4428H894H6485H776
3Ishmael also struck down all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Chaldean soldiers who were there.H3458H5221H3064H1436H4709H3778H4672H582H4421
4On the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, when no one knew [yet],H8145H3117H4191H1436H376H3045
580 men came from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria who had shaved their beards, torn their garments, and gashed themselves, and who were carrying grain and incense offerings to bring to the temple of the LORD.H935H582H7927H7887H8111H8084H376H2206H1548H899H7167H1413H4503H3828H3027H935H1004H3068
6Ishmael son of Nethaniah came out of Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he came. When he encountered them, he said: "Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam!"H3458H1121H5418H3318H4709H7125H1058H1980H1980H6298H559H935H1436H1121H296
7But when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.H935H8432H5892H3458H1121H5418H7819H8432H953H582
8However, there were 10 men among them who said to Ishmael, "Don't kill us, for we have hidden treasure in the field— wheat, barley, oil, and honey!" So he stopped and did not kill them along with their companions.H6235H582H4672H559H3458H4191H3426H4301H7704H2406H8184H8081H1706H2308H4191H8432H251
9Now the cistern where Ishmael had thrown all the corpses of the men he had struck down was a large one that King Asa had made in the encounter with Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled [it] with the slain.H953H3458H7993H6297H582H5221H3027H1436H609H4428H6213H6440H1201H4428H3478H3458H1121H5418H4390H2491
10Then Ishmael took captive all the remnant of the people of Mizpah including the daughters of the king— all those who remained in Mizpah over whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive and set off to cross over to the Ammonites.H3458H7617H7611H5971H4709H4428H1323H5971H7604H4709H5018H7227H2876H6485H1436H1121H296H3458H1121H5418H7617H3212H5674H1121H5983

The Captives Rescued by Johanan

11When Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies with him heard of all the evil that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had done,H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H8085H7451H3458H1121H5418H6213
12they took all their men and went to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah and found him by the great pool in Gibeon.H3947H582H3212H3898H3458H1121H5418H4672H7227H4325H1391
13When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the army with him, they rejoiced,H5971H3458H7200H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H8055
14and all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and rejoined Johanan son of Kareah.H5971H3458H7617H4709H5437H7725H3212H3110H1121H7143
15But Ishmael son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men and went to the Ammonites.H3458H1121H5418H4422H6440H3110H8083H582H3212H1121H5983
16Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies with him then took from Mizpah all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam— men, soldiers, women, children, and court officials whom he brought back from Gibeon.H3947H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H7611H5971H7725H3458H1121H5418H4709H310H5221H1436H1121H296H1397H582H4421H802H2945H5631H7725H1391
17They left, stopping in Geruth Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, in order to make their way into EgyptH3212H3427H1628H3643H681H1035H3212H935H4714
18away from the Chaldeans. For they feared them because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed in the land.H6440H3778H3372H3458H1121H5418H5221H1436H1121H296H4428H894H6485H776
