41:1 Now
it
came
to
pass
in
the
seventh
month,
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
the
son
of
Elishama,
of
the
seed
royal
and
[one
of]
the
chief
officers
of
the
king,
and
ten
men
with
him,
came
unto
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
to
Mizpah;
and
there
they
did
eat
bread
together
in
Mizpah.
41:2 Then
arose
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
and
the
ten
men
that
were
with
him,
and
smote
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan
with
the
sword,
and
slew
him,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
had
made
governor
over
the
land.
41:3 Ishmael
also
slew
all
the
Jews
that
were
with
him,
[to
wit],
with
Gedaliah,
at
Mizpah,
and
the
Chaldeans
that
were
found
there,
the
men
of
war.
41:4 And
it
came
to
pass
the
second
day
after
he
had
slain
Gedaliah,
and
no
man
knew
it,
41:5 that
there
came
men
from
Shechem,
from
Shiloh,
and
from
Samaria,
even
fourscore
men,
having
their
beards
shaven
and
their
clothes
rent,
and
having
cut
themselves,
with
meal-offerings
and
frankincense
in
their
hand,
to
bring
them
to
the
house
of
Jehovah.
41:6 And
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
went
forth
from
Mizpah
to
meet
them,
weeping
all
along
as
he
went:
and
it
came
to
pass,
as
he
met
them,
he
said
unto
them,
Come
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam.
41:7 And
it
was
so,
when
they
came
into
the
midst
of
the
city,
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
slew
them,
[and
cast
them]
into
the
midst
of
the
pit,
he,
and
the
men
that
were
with
him.
41:8 But
ten
men
were
found
among
them
that
said
unto
Ishmael,
Slay
us
not;
for
we
have
stores
hidden
in
the
field,
of
wheat,
and
of
barley,
and
of
oil,
and
of
honey.
So
he
forbare,
and
slew
them
not
among
their
brethren.
41:9 Now
the
pit
wherein
Ishmael
cast
all
the
dead
bodies
of
the
men
whom
he
had
slain,
by
the
side
of
Gedaliah
(the
same
was
that
which
Asa
the
king
had
made
for
fear
of
Baasha
king
of
Israel,)
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
filled
it
with
them
that
were
slain.
41:10 Then
Ishmael
carried
away
captive
all
the
residue
of
the
people
that
were
in
Mizpah,
even
the
king's
daughters,
and
all
the
people
that
remained
in
Mizpah,
whom
Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of
the
guard
had
committed
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam;
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
carried
them
away
captive,
and
departed
to
go
over
to
the
children
of
Ammon.
41:11 But
when
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
with
him,
heard
of
all
the
evil
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
had
done,
41:12 then
they
took
all
the
men,
and
went
to
fight
with
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
and
found
him
by
the
great
waters
that
are
in
Gibeon.
41:13 Now
it
came
to
pass
that,
when
all
the
people
that
were
with
Ishmael
saw
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
with
him,
then
they
were
glad.
41:14 So
all
the
people
that
Ishmael
had
carried
away
captive
from
Mizpah
turned
about
and
came
back,
and
went
unto
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah.
41:15 But
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
escaped
from
Johanan
with
eight
men,
and
went
to
the
children
of
Ammon.
41:16 Then
took
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
with
him,
all
the
remnant
of
the
people
whom
he
had
recovered
from
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
from
Mizpah,
after
that
he
had
slain
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam,
[to
wit],
the
men
of
war,
and
the
women,
and
the
children,
and
the
eunuchs,
whom
he
had
brought
back
from
Gibeon:
41:17 and
they
departed,
and
dwelt
in
Geruth
Chimham,
which
is
by
Beth-lehem,
to
go
to
enter
into
Egypt,
41:18 because
of
the
Chaldeans;
for
they
were
afraid
of
them,
because
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
had
slain
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
made
governor
over
the
land.
