King James Version
In the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nethaniah ,
the son of Elishama, who
was
a
member
of the royal family
and one
of the king’s
chief
officers
, came
with
ten men to
Gedaliah son of Ahikam at
Mizpah ,
and they ate
a
meal
together there
.
Now
it
came
to
pass
in the seventh month, that
Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed
royal ,
and the
princes
of the king
, even
ten men with
him,
came
unto
Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam to
Mizpah ;
and there
they did
eat
bread
together in
Mizpah
.
Then Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the ten men who
were with him got
up
and struck
down
Gedaliah son of Ahikam ,
the son of Shaphan ,
with the sword, killing
the
one
whom the king of Babylon had appointed
to
govern
the land.
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.
Ishmael also killed
all the Jews who
were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as
well
as
the Chaldean
soldiers
who
were there.
Ishmael also slew
all the Jews that
were with him,
even
with
Gedaliah ,
at Mizpah, and
the Chaldeans
that
were found
there ,
and
the
men
of
war
.
On
the second day after the
murder
of
Gedaliah, when
no one
yet
knew about
it,
And
it
came
to
pass
the second day after he
had
slain
Gedaliah, and
no man
knew it,
eighty
men who
had
shaved
off
their beards, torn
their garments
, and cut themselves came
from
Shechem
, Shiloh,
and
Samaria,
carrying
grain
offerings and frankincense
for
the house of the LORD.
That
there
came
certain
from
Shechem,
from
Shiloh,
and
from
Samaria,
even
fourscore
men ,
having
their beards shaven
, and
their clothes
rent
, and having
cut themselves, with
offerings and incense
in
their
hand,
to
bring
them
to
the house of the LORD.
And Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out
from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went .
When
Ishmael
encountered
the
men
, he said, “
Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam. ”
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.
And when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered
them
and
threw
them
into
a
cistern
.
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.
But ten of
the
men among them said to
Ishmael, “Do
not
kill
us ,
for we have hidden
treasure
in the field —
wheat, barley, oil, and honey !”
So he refrained
from
killing
them with
the
others
.
But ten men were
found
among them that
said unto
Ishmael, Slay
us not:
for we have treasures
in the field ,
of
wheat, and
of
barley, and
of
oil, and of
honey .
So he forbare,
and
slew
them not
among
their
brethren
.
Now the cistern
into
which
Ishmael had thrown
all the bodies of the men he had struck
down
along
with
Gedaliah was a
large
one
that
King
Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel .
Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the
slain.
Now the pit
wherein
Ishmael had cast
all the dead
bodies of the men ,
whom
he had slain
because
of
Gedaliah ,
was it
which
Asa the
king
had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel :
and
Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah filled it with them
that
were
slain.
Then Ishmael took
captive all the remnant
of the people of
Mizpah —
the daughters of
the
king
along
with
all the others
who
remained in Mizpah —over
whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had appointed
Gedaliah son of Ahikam .
Ishmael son of Nethaniah took
them captive and set
off
to cross
over to the Ammonites.
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 :
and
Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah carried
them away
captive ,
and departed
to go
over to the Ammonites.
When Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders
of the armies
with him heard of all the crimes
that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had committed
,
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
,
they took all their
men and went to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah .
And they
found him near
the great pool
in Gibeon.
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.
When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders
of the army
with him, they rejoiced,
Now
it
came
to
pass,
that
when all the people which
were
with Ishmael saw Johanan the
son of Kareah ,
and all the captains
of the forces
that
were
with him, then
they were
glad.
and
all the people whom
Ishmael had taken
captive at
Mizpah turned
and went over
to
Johanan son of Kareah.
So
all the people that
Ishmael had carried
away
captive from
Mizpah cast
about
and returned,
and
went unto
Johanan the
son of Kareah.
But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and
eight
of
his
men
escaped from Johanan and went to the Ammonites.
But Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with
eight
men,
and went to the Ammonites.
Then Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders
of the armies
with him took
the whole
remnant of the people from
Mizpah
whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah after Ishmael
had killed
Gedaliah son of Ahikam :
the
soldiers
, women, children, and court
officials
he had brought back
from Gibeon .
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, even
mighty
men
of
war,
and
the
women, and
the
children, and the
eunuchs,
whom
he had brought again
from Gibeon :
And they went
and stayed
in Geruth
Chimham, near
Bethlehem, in
order
to proceed
into Egypt
And they departed,
and dwelt
in the
habitation
of
Chimham, which
is
by
Bethlehem, to go
to
enter
into Egypt ,
to
escape
the Chaldeans .
For they were afraid of the
Chaldeans
because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had struck
down
Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had
appointed
over
the land.
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
in
the land.
