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.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
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.
And it cometh
to pass ,
on
the second day of
the
putting
of
Gedaliah to
death
, (
and no one
hath
known
, )
And it came
to pass the second day after
he
had
slain
Gedaliah, and no man
knew
it
,
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
.
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 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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
.
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 hath
taken
captive from Mizpah turn
round,
yea,
they
turn
back
, and go
unto 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.
And
Ishmael son of Nethaniah hath
escaped ,
with eight men, from
the
presence
of
Johanan,
and he
goeth
unto
the sons
of
Ammon
.
But
Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah escaped from
Johanan
with eight men, and went
to
the Ammonites
.
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 ,
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 go
and abide
in the habitations
of Chimham, that
`are'
near
Beth-Lehem
, to go to enter Egypt,
And they departed,
and dwelt
in the habitation
of Chimham, which
is
by
Bethlehem
, to go to enter into
Egypt,
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.
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.
