Now it cameH1961 to pass in the seventhH7637 month,H2320 that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 the sonH1121 of Elishama,H476 of the seedH2233 royal,H4410 and the princesH7227 of the king,H4428 even tenH6235 menH582 with him, cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 to Mizpah;H4709 and thereH8033 they did eatH398 breadH3899 togetherH3162 in Mizpah.H4709
2
Then aroseH6965 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of Nethaniah,H5418 and the tenH6235 menH582 that were with him, and smoteH5221 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 with the sword,H2719 and slewH4191 him, whomH834 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had made governorH6485 over the land.H776
3
IshmaelH3458 also slewH5221 allH3605 the JewsH3064 that were with him, even with Gedaliah,H1436 at Mizpah,H4709 and the ChaldeansH3778 that were foundH4672 there,H8033 and the menH582 of war.H4421
4
And it cameH1961 to pass the secondH8145 dayH3117 after he had slainH4191 Gedaliah,H1436 and noH3808 manH376 knewH3045 it,
5
That there cameH935 certainH582 from Shechem,H7927 from Shiloh,H7887 and from Samaria,H8111 even fourscoreH8084 men,H376 having their beardsH2206 shaven,H1548 and their clothesH899 rent,H7167 and having cutH1413 themselves, with offeringsH4503 and incenseH3828 in their hand,H3027 to bringH935 them to the houseH1004 of the LORD.H3068
6
And IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 wentH3318 forthH3318 from MizpahH4709 to meetH7125 them, weepingH1058 all alongH1980 as he went:H1980 and it cameH1961 to pass, as he metH6298 them, he saidH559 to them, ComeH935 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of Ahikam.H296
7
And it was so, when they cameH935 intoH413 the middleH8432 of the city,H5892 that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 slewH7819 them, and cast them intoH413 the middleH8432 of the pit,H953 he, and the menH582 that were with him.
8
But tenH6235 menH582 were foundH4672 among them that saidH559 to Ishmael,H3458 SlayH4191 us not: for we haveH3426 treasuresH4301 in the field,H7704 of wheat,H2406 and of barley,H8184 and of oil,H8081 and of honey.H1706 So he declined,H2308 and slewH4191 them not amongH8432 their brothers.H251
9
Now the pitH953 whereinH834 IshmaelH3458 had castH7993 allH3605 the deadH6297 bodiesH6297 of the men,H582 whomH834 he had slainH5221 becauseH3027 of Gedaliah,H1436 was it whichH834 AsaH609 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 for fearH6440 of BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of Israel:H3478 and IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 filledH4390 it with them that were slain.H2491
10
Then IshmaelH3458 carriedH7617 away captiveH7617 allH3605 the residueH7611 of the peopleH5971 that were in Mizpah,H4709 evenH853 the king'sH4428 daughters,H1323 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in Mizpah,H4709 whomH834 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 had committedH6485 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of Ahikam:H296 and IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 carriedH7617 them away captive,H7617 and departedH3212 to goH5674 overH5674 to the Ammonites.H5984
11
But when JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of Kareah,H7143 and allH3605 the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were with him, heardH8085 of allH3605 the evilH7451 that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 had done,H6213
12
Then they tookH3947 allH3605 the men,H582 and wentH3212 to fightH3898 with IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of Nethaniah,H5418 and foundH4672 him by the greatH7227 watersH4325 that are in Gibeon.H1391
13
Now it cameH1961 to pass, that when allH3605 the peopleH5971 whichH834 were with IshmaelH3458 sawH7200 JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of Kareah,H7143 and allH3605 the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were with him, then they were glad.H8056
14
So allH3605 the peopleH5971 that IshmaelH3458 had carriedH7617 away captiveH7617 from MizpahH4709 castH5437 aboutH5437 and returned,H7725 and wentH3212 to JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of Kareah.H7143
15
But IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 escapedH4422 from JohananH3110 with eightH8083 men,H582 and wentH3212 to the Ammonites.H5984
16
Then tookH3947 JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of Kareah,H7143 and allH3605 the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were with him, allH3605 the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971 whomH834 he had recoveredH7725 from IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of Nethaniah,H5418 from Mizpah,H4709 afterH310 that he had slainH5221 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of Ahikam,H296 even mightyH1397 menH582 of war,H4421 and the women,H802 and the children,H2945 and the eunuchs,H5631 whomH834 he had broughtH7725 againH7725 from Gibeon:H1391
17
And they departed,H3212 and dwelledH3427 in the habitationH1628 of Chimham,H3643 whichH834 is by Bethlehem,H1035 to goH3212 to enterH935 into Egypt,H4714
18
BecauseH6440 of the Chaldeans:H3778 for they were afraidH3372 of them, becauseH3588 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 had slainH5221 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of Ahikam,H296 whomH834 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made governorH6485 in the land.H776
