Now
it
happened
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
to Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam to
Mizpah ;
and there
they ate bread
together in
Mizpah
.
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
.
Then arose
Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah ,
and the ten men who were with him ,
and struck Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and
killed
him,
whom the king of Babylon had made
governor
over
the land.
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.
Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with him,
[to
wit],
with
Gedaliah ,
at Mizpah, and
the Chaldeans
who were found
there ,
the
men
of
war
.
Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as
well
as
the Chaldean
soldiers
who were there.
It
happened
the second day after he
had
killed
Gedaliah, and
no man
knew it,
On
the second day after the
murder
of
Gedaliah, when
no one
yet
knew about
it,
that
there
came
men
from
Shechem,
from
Shiloh,
and
from
Samaria,
even
eighty men ,
having
their
beards
shaved and
their clothes
torn, and having
cut themselves, with
meal-
offerings and frankincense in
their
hand,
to
bring
them
to
the house of Yahweh
.
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
.
Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah went forth
from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all
along
as he went :
and
it
happened,
as
he
met
them
, he said to
them
, Come to Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam.
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. ”
It
was
so,
when they came into the midst
of
the
city, that
Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah killed
them,
[
and cast
them]
into
the midst
of
the
pit,
he,
and
the
men who
were
with him.
And
when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered
them
and
threw
them
into
a
cistern
.
But ten men were
found
among those
who
said to Ishmael, Don't
kill us ;
for we have stores
hidden in the field ,
of
wheat, and
of
barley, and
of
oil, and of
honey .
So he stopped,
and
didn't
kill
them among
their
brothers
.
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
.
Now the pit
in
which Ishmael cast
all the dead
bodies of the men whom
he had killed,
by
the
side
of
Gedaliah (the
same
was who
which
Asa
the
king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel ),
Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah filled it with those
who
were
killed
.
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
.
Then Ishmael carried
away
captive all the residue
of the people who
were
in
Mizpah ,
even
the king's
daughters ,
and
all the people
who 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
.
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
.
But
when Johanan the
son of Kareah ,
and all the captains
of the forces
who
were
with him ,
heard of all the evil
that Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah had done
,
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
,
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.
they took all their
men and went to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah .
And they
found him near
the great pool
in Gibeon.
Now
it
happened
that,
when all the people who
were
with Ishmael saw Johanan the
son of Kareah ,
and all the captains
of the forces
who
were
with him, then
they were
glad.
When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders
of the army
with him, they rejoiced,
So
all the people who
Ishmael had carried
away
captive from
Mizpah turned about
and came
back,
and
went to Johanan the
son of Kareah.
and
all the people whom
Ishmael had taken
captive at
Mizpah turned and went over
to Johanan son of Kareah.
But Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with
eight
men,
and went to the children
of
Ammon
.
But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and
eight
of
his
men
escaped from Johanan and went to the Ammonites
.
Then took
Johanan the
son of Kareah ,
and all the captains
of the forces
who
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 killed 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 :
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 they departed,
and lived
in Geruth Chimham, which
is
by
Bethlehem, to
go
to enter
into Egypt ,
And they went
and stayed
in Geruth Chimham, near
Bethlehem, in
order
to proceed
into Egypt
because
of
the Chaldeans ;
for they were afraid of them,
because Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah had killed
Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made
governor
over the land.
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.
