Young's Literal Translation
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.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in the seventh month, come
hath
Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of the seed
royal ,
and of the chiefs
of
the
king
, and
ten men with
him,
unto
Gedaliah son of Ahikam ,
to
Mizpah, and they eat
there 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.
And
Ishmael son of Nethaniah riseth,
and the ten men who have
been
with him ,
and they
smite
Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, with the sword, and
he
putteth
him
to
death
whom the king of Babylon hath
appointed over
the land.
Ishmael
also
killed
all the Jews who were
with Gedaliah at
Mizpah, as
well
as
the Chaldean
soldiers
who were
there.
And
all the Jews who have
been
with him,
with
Gedaliah ,
in
Mizpah, and
the Chaldeans
who have
been
found
there --
the
men
of
war
--
hath
Ishmael
smitten
.
On the second day after
the murder
of Gedaliah, when
no one yet
knew
about
it
,
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
on the second day of
the putting
of Gedaliah to
death
, (and
no one hath
known
, )
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
men
come
in
from
Shechem,
from
Shiloh,
and
from
Samaria
--
eighty men --
with
shaven
beards, and
rent
garments, and cutting
themselves, and an
offering
and frankincense in
their
hand,
to
bring
in
to
the house of Jehovah
.
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 son of Nethaniah goeth
forth
to meet them, from
Mizpah,
going
on
and
weeping, and
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
meeting
them,
that
he saith
unto
them
, `
Come in
unto
Gedaliah 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
cometh
to
pass,
at
their
coming
in
unto
the midst
of
the
city, that
Ishmael son of Nethaniah doth
slaughter
them,
at
the
midst
of
the
pit,
he
and the men who
`are'
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
.
And
ten men have
been
found
among them ,
and
they
say
unto
Ishmael, `
Do not put
us to
death
, for we have things
hidden in the field --
wheat, and
barley, and
oil, and honey .'
And
he forbeareth,
and
hath
not
put
them to
death
in
the midst
of
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
.
And
the pit
whither
Ishmael hath
cast
all the carcases
of the men whom
he hath
smitten
along with Gedaliah ,
is
that which
the
king Asa made because
of Baasha king of Israel --
it
hath
Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled with the pierced
.
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
.
And
Ishmael taketh
captive all the remnant of the people who
`are'
in
Mizpah ,
the daughters of the king ,
and
all the people
who are
left
in Mizpah ,
whom Nebuzar-Adan,
chief
of the executioners,
hath
committed
`to'
Gedaliah son of Ahikam ,
and
Ishmael son of Nethaniah taketh
them captive ,
and goeth
to pass
over unto
the sons
of
Ammon
.
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
,
And
hear
doth
Johanan son of Kareah ,
and all the heads
of the forces
that
`are'
with him ,
of all the evil
that Ishmael son of Nethaniah hath
done
,
they took
all their
men and went
to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah .
And they found
him near
the great pool
in Gibeon.
and
they take
all the
men ,
and go
to fight with
Ishmael son of Nethaniah ,
and they find
him at
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,
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
when all the people who
`are'
with Ishmael see
Johanan son of Kareah ,
and all the heads
of the forces
who
`are'
with him, that
they rejoice.
and all the people whom Ishmael had
taken captive at
Mizpah turned
and went
over
to
Johanan son of Kareah.
And all the people whom Ishmael hath
taken captive from
Mizpah turn
round,
yea,
they
turn
back,
and go
unto
Johanan son of Kareah.
But
Ishmael son of Nethaniah and
eight of
his
men escaped
from Johanan and went
to
the Ammonites
.
And
Ishmael son of Nethaniah hath
escaped,
with
eight men ,
from the
presence
of
Johanan ,
and he
goeth
unto
the sons
of
Ammon
.
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 .
And
Johanan son of Kareah ,
and all the heads
of the forces
who
`are'
with him ,
take
all
the remnant of the people whom he hath
brought
back
from Ishmael son of Nethaniah ,
from
Mizpah
--
after he
had smitten
Gedaliah son of Ahikam --
mighty
ones
, men
of
war,
and
women, and
infants
, and eunuchs,
whom
he had brought back from Gibeon ,
And they went
and stayed
in Geruth
Chimham, near Bethlehem
, in
order
to proceed
into
Egypt
and they go
and abide
in the
habitations
of
Chimham, that
`are'
near Beth-Lehem
, to go
to
enter
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.
from
the presence
of
the
Chaldeans ,
for they have
been
afraid of them,
for
Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten
Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
