Good News Translation Help
41In the seventh month of that year, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Elishama, a member of the royal family and one of the king's chief officers, went to Mizpah with ten men to see Governor Gedaliah. While they were all eating a meal together,H7637H2320H3458H1121H5418H1121H476H2233H4410H7227H4428H6235H582H935H1436H1121H296H4709H398H3899H3162H4708
2Ishmael and the ten men with him pulled out their swords and killed Gedaliah.H6965H3458H1121H5418H6235H582H5221H1436H1121H296H1121H8227H2719H4191H4428H894H6485H776
3Ishmael also killed all the Israelites who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah and the Babylonian soldiers who happened to be there.H3458H5221H3064H1436H4709H3778H4672H582H4421
4The next day, before anyone knew about Gedaliah's murder,H8145H3117H4191H1436H376H3045
5eighty men arrived from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria. They had shaved off their beards, torn their clothes, and gashed themselves. They were taking grain and incense to offer in the Temple.H935H582H7927H7887H8111H8084H376H2206H1548H899H7167H1413H4503H3828H3027H935H1004H3068
6So Ishmael went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went. When he came to them, he said, "Please come in to see Gedaliah."H3458H1121H5418H3318H4709H7125H1058H1980H1980H6298H559H935H1436H1121H296
7As soon as they were inside the city, Ishmael and his men killed them and threw their bodies in a well.H935H8432H5892H3458H1121H5418H7819H8432H953H582
8But there were ten men in the group who said to Ishmael, "Please don't kill us! We have wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey hidden in the fields." So he spared them.H6235H582H4672H559H3458H4191H3426H4301H7704H2406H8184H8081H1706H2308H4191H8432H251
9The well into which Ishmael threw the bodies of the men he had killed was the large one that King Asa had dug when he was being attacked by King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael filled the well with the bodies.H953H3458H7993H6297H582H5221H3027H1436H609H4428H6213H6440H1201H4428H3478H3458H1121H5418H4390H2491
10Then he made prisoners of the king's daughters and all the rest of the people in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the commanding officer had placed under the care of Gedaliah. Ishmael took them prisoner and started off in the direction of the territory of Ammon.H3458H7617H7611H5971H4709H4428H1323H5971H7604H4709H5018H7227H2876H6485H1436H1121H296H3458H1121H5418H7617H3212H5674H1121H5983
11Johanan and all the army leaders with him heard of the crime that Ishmael had committed.H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H8085H7451H3458H1121H5418H6213
12So they went after him with their men and overtook him near the large pool at Gibeon.H3947H582H3212H3898H3458H1121H5418H4672H7227H4325H1391
13When Ishmael's prisoners saw Johanan and the leaders of the forces with him, they were glad,H5971H3458H7200H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H8055
14and turned and ran to them.H5971H3458H7617H4709H5437H7725H3212H3110H1121H7143
15But Ishmael and eight of his men got away from Johanan and escaped to the land of Ammon.H3458H1121H5418H4422H6440H3110H8083H582H3212H1121H5983
16Then Johanan and the leaders of the forces with him took charge of the people whom Ishmael had taken away as prisoners from Mizpah after murdering Gedaliah - soldiers, women, children, and eunuchs.H3947H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H7611H5971H7725H3458H1121H5418H4709H310H5221H1436H1121H296H1397H582H4421H802H2945H5631H7725H1391
17They were afraid of the Babylonians because Ishmael had murdered Gedaliah, whom the king of Babylonia had made governor of the land.H3212H3427H1628H3643H681H1035H3212H935H4714
18So they set out for Egypt, in order to get away from the Babylonians. On the way they stopped at Chimham near Bethlehem.H6440H3778H3372H3458H1121H5418H5221H1436H1121H296H4428H894H6485H776
