In the seventh
month
Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah,
the son
of Elishama,
of the royal
family
and one of the chief officers
of the king,
along with ten
men,
came
to Mizpah
to Gedaliah
the son
of Ahikam.
While they were eating
bread
together
there
in Mizpah,
2
Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah
and the ten
men
who
were with him arose
and struck down
Gedaliah
the son
of Ahikam,
the son
of Shaphan,
with the sword
and put to death
the one whom
the king
of Babylon
had appointed
over the land.
3
Ishmael
also struck down
all
the Jews
who
were with him, that is with Gedaliah
at Mizpah,
and the Chaldeans
who
were found
there,
the men
of war.
4
Now it happened
on the next
day
after the killing
of Gedaliah,
when no
one
knew
about it,
5
that eighty
men
came
from Shechem,
from Shiloh,
and from Samaria
with their beards
shaved off
and their clothes
torn
and their bodies gashed,
having grain offerings
and incense
in their hands
to bring
to the house
of the LORD.
6
Then Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah
went
out from Mizpah
to meet
them, weeping
as he
went
;
and as he met
them, he said
to them, "Come
to Gedaliah
the son
of Ahikam!"
7
Yet it turned
out that as soon as they came
inside
the city,
Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah
and the men
that were with him slaughtered
them and cast them into the cistern.
8
But ten
men
who were found
among them said
to Ishmael,
"Do not put
us to death;
for we have
stores
of wheat,
barley,
oil
and honey
hidden
in the field."
So he refrained
and did not put them to death
along
with their companions.
9
Now as for the cistern
where
Ishmael
had cast
all
the corpses
of the men
whom
he had struck down
because
of Gedaliah,
it was the one that King
Asa
had made
on account
of Baasha,
king
of Israel;
Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah
filled
it with the slain.
10
Then Ishmael
took
captive
all
the remnant
of
the people
who
were
in Mizpah,
the king's
daughters
and
all
the people
who
were left
in Mizpah,
whom
Nebuzaradan
the captain
of the bodyguard
had put under the charge
of Gedaliah
the son
of Ahikam;
thus Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah
took
them
captive
and proceeded
to cross over
to the sons
of Ammon.
11
But Johanan
the son
of Kareah
and all
the commanders
of the forces
that were with him heard
of all
the evil
that Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah
had done.
12
So they took
all
the men
and went
to fight
with Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah
and they found
him by the great
pool
that is in Gibeon.
13
Now as soon as all
the people
who
were with Ishmael
saw
Johanan
the son
of Kareah
and the commanders
of the forces
that were with him, they were glad.
14
So all
the people
whom
Ishmael
had taken captive
from Mizpah
turned around
and came back,
and went
to Johanan
the son
of Kareah.
15
But Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah
escaped
from Johanan
with eight
men
and went
to the sons
of Ammon.
16
Then Johanan
the son
of Kareah
and
all
the commanders
of the forces
that were with him took
from Mizpah
all
the remnant
of the people
whom
he had recovered
from Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah,
after
he had struck down
Gedaliah
the son
of Ahikam,
that is, the men
who were soldiers,
the women,
the children,
and the eunuchs,
whom
he had brought back
from Gibeon.
17
And they went
and stayed
in Geruth
Chimham,
which
is beside
Bethlehem,
in order to proceed
into Egypt
18
because
of the Chaldeans;
for they were afraid
of them, since
Ishmael
the son
of Nethaniah
had struck down
Gedaliah
the son
of Ahikam,
whom
the king
of Babylon
had appointed
over the land.
