Gedaliah is Assassinated

41In the seventh month, Nethaniah's son Ishmael, the grandson of Elishama, a member of the royal family and one of the chief officers of the king, came to Ahikam's son Gedaliah at Mizpah, along with ten men. While they were dining together there at Mizpah,H7637H2320H3458H1121H5418H1121H476H2233H4410H7227H4428H6235H582H935H1436H1121H296H4709H398H3899H3162H4708
2Nethaniah's son Ishmael and the ten men with him got up and killed Ahikam's son Gedaliah, the grandson of Shaphan, with swords and killed the man whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.H6965H3458H1121H5418H6235H582H5221H1436H1121H296H1121H8227H2719H4191H4428H894H6485H776
3Ishmael also struck down all the Judeans who were with him (that is, with Gedaliah) at Mizpah, along with the Chaldean soldiers who were found there.1H3458H5221H3064H1436H4709H3778H4672H582H4421
4Now on the day after Gedaliah was killed, when as yet no one knew about it,H8145H3117H4191H1436H376H3045
5eighty men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria came with their beards shaved, their clothes torn, and their bodies slashed. They had grain offerings and incense with them to present at the LORD's temple.H935H582H7927H7887H8111H8084H376H2206H1548H899H7167H1413H4503H3828H3027H935H1004H3068
6Nethaniah's son Ishmael went out from Mizpah to meet them, crying as he went. As he met them he said to them, "Come meet with Ahikam's son Gedaliah."H3458H1121H5418H3318H4709H7125H1058H1980H1980H6298H559H935H1436H1121H296
7When they reached the middle of the city, Nethaniah's son Ishmael and the men who were with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.H935H8432H5892H3458H1121H5418H7819H8432H953H582
8Ten men who were among them said to Ishmael, "Don't kill us because we have stores of wheat, barley, oil, and honey hidden in the field. So Ishmael stopped and did not kill them or their companions.H6235H582H4672H559H3458H4191H3426H4301H7704H2406H8184H8081H1706H2308H4191H8432H251
9Ishmael threw the bodies of the men he killed on account of Gedaliah into the cistern that King Asa had made for protection against King Baasha of Israel. That is the same one Nethaniah's son Ishmael filled with those he killed.H953H3458H7993H6297H582H5221H3027H1436H609H4428H6213H6440H1201H4428H3478H3458H1121H5418H4390H2491
10Then Ishmael took captive all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, including the king's daughters and all the rest of the people in Mizpah over whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had appointed Ahikam's son Gedaliah. Nethaniah's son Ishmael took them captive and then set out to cross over to the Ammonites.419H3458H7617H7611H5971H4709H4428H1323H5971H7604H4709H5018H7227H2876H6485H1436H1121H296H3458H1121H5418H7617H3212H5674H1121H5983

The Captives Rescued; Ishmael Escapes

11Kareah's son Jonathan and all the military leaders who were with him heard about all the terrible things that Nethaniah's son Ishmael had done.H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H8085H7451H3458H1121H5418H6213
12So they took all the men and went to fight Nethaniah's son Ishmael, and they found him at the large pool that is at Gibeon.H3947H582H3212H3898H3458H1121H5418H4672H7227H4325H1391
13When all the people who were with Ishmael saw Kareah's son Jonathan and all the military leaders who were with him, they were glad.H5971H3458H7200H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H8055
14All the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and went back to Kareah's son Jonathan.H5971H3458H7617H4709H5437H7725H3212H3110H1121H7143
15But Nethaniah's son Ishmael and eight other men escaped from Jonathan and went to the Ammonites.H3458H1121H5418H4422H6440H3110H8083H582H3212H1121H5983
16Kareah's son Jonathan and all the military leaders who were with him took all the rest of the people from Mizpah whom he had rescued from Nethaniah's son Ishmael after he had killed Ahikam's son Gedaliah, including the young men, the soldiers, women, children, and eunuchs whom he had rescued from Gibeon.H3947H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H7611H5971H7725H3458H1121H5418H4709H310H5221H1436H1121H296H1397H582H4421H802H2945H5631H7725H1391
17They traveled and then stopped at Geruth Chimham near Bethlehem on their way to EgyptH3212H3427H1628H3643H681H1035H3212H935H4714
18because of the Chaldeans. They were afraid of the Chaldeans because Nethaniah's son Ishmael had killed Ahikam's son Gedaliah, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.H6440H3778H3372H3458H1121H5418H5221H1436H1121H296H4428H894H6485H776
