Now it came to pass in the seventh
H2320
month,
H3458
that Ishmael
H1121
the son
H5418
of Nethaniah,
H1121
the son
H476
of Elishama,
H2233
of the seed
H4410
royal
H7227
and one of the chief officers
H4428
of the king,
H6235
and ten
H582
men
H935
with him, came
H1436
unto Gedaliah
H1121
the son
H296
of Ahikam
H4709
to Mizpah;
H398
and there they did eat
H3899
bread
H3162
together
H4708
in Mizpah.
2
H6965
Then arose
H3458
Ishmael
H1121
the son
H5418
of Nethaniah,
H6235
and the ten
H582
men
H5221
that were with him, and smote
H1436
Gedaliah
H1121
the son
H296
of Ahikam
H1121
the son
H8227
of Shaphan
H2719
with the sword,
H4191
and slew
H4428
him, whom the king
H894
of Babylon
H6485
had made governor
H776
over the land.
3
H3458
Ishmael
H5221
also slew
H3064
all the Jews
H1436
that were with him, to wit, with Gedaliah,
H4709
at Mizpah,
H3778
and the Chaldeans
H4672
that were found
H582
there, the men
H4421
of war.
4
H8145
And it came to pass the second
H3117
day
H4191
after he had slain
H1436
Gedaliah,
H376
and no man
H3045
knew it,
5
H935
that there came
H582
men
H7927
from Shechem,
H7887
from Shiloh,
H8111
and from Samaria,
H8084
even fourscore
H376
men,
H2206
having their beards
H1548
shaven
H899
and their clothes
H7167
rent,
H1413
and having cut
H4503
themselves, with meal-offerings
H3828
and frankincense
H3027
in their hand,
H935
to bring
H1004
them to the house
H3068
of Jehovah.
6
H3458
And Ishmael
H1121
the son
H5418
of Nethaniah
H3318
went forth
H4709
from Mizpah
H7125
to meet
H1058
them, weeping
H1980
all along
H1980
as he went:
H6298
and it came to pass, as he met
H559
them, he said
H935
unto them, Come
H1436
to Gedaliah
H1121
the son
H296
of Ahikam.
7
H935
And it was so, when they came
H8432
into the midst
H5892
of the city,
H3458
that Ishmael
H1121
the son
H5418
of Nethaniah
H7819
slew
H8432
them, and cast them into the midst
H953
of the pit,
H582
he, and the men that were with him.
8
H6235
But ten
H582
men
H4672
were found
H559
among them that said
H3458
unto Ishmael,
H4191
Slay
H3426
us not; for we have
H4301
stores
H7704
hidden in the field,
H2406
of wheat,
H8184
and of barley,
H8081
and of oil,
H1706
and of honey.
H2308
So he forbare,
H4191
and slew
H8432
them not among
H251
their brethren.
9
H953
Now the pit
H3458
wherein Ishmael
H7993
cast
H6297
all the dead bodies
H582
of the men
H5221
whom he had slain,
H3027
by the side
H1436
of Gedaliah
H609
(the same was that which Asa
H4428
the king
H6213
had made
H6440
for fear
H1201
of Baasha
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel,)
H3458
Ishmael
H1121
the son
H5418
of Nethaniah
H4390
filled
H2491
it with them that were slain.
10
H3458
Then Ishmael
H7617
carried away captive
H7611
all the residue
H5971
of the people
H4709
that were in Mizpah,
H4428
even the king's
H1323
daughters,
H5971
and all the people
H7604
that remained
H4709
in Mizpah,
H5018
whom Nebuzaradan
H7227
the captain
H2876
of the guard
H6485
had committed
H1436
to Gedaliah
H1121
the son
H296
of Ahikam;
H3458
Ishmael
H1121
the son
H5418
of Nethaniah
H7617
carried them away captive,
H3212
and departed
H5674
to go over
H1121
to the children of Ammon.
11
H3110
But when Johanan
H1121
the son
H7143
of Kareah,
H8269
and all the captains
H2428
of the forces
H8085
that were with him, heard
H7451
of all the evil
H3458
that Ishmael
H1121
the son
H5418
of Nethaniah
H6213
had done,
12
H3947
then they took
H582
all the men,
H3212
and went
H3898
to fight
H3458
with Ishmael
H1121
the son
H5418
of Nethaniah,
H4672
and found
H7227
him by the great
H4325
waters
H1391
that are in Gibeon.
13
H5971
Now it came to pass that, when all the people
H3458
that were with Ishmael
H7200
saw
H3110
Johanan
H1121
the son
H7143
of Kareah,
H8269
and all the captains
H2428
of the forces
H8055
that were with him, then they were glad.
14
H5971
So all the people
H3458
that Ishmael
H7617
had carried away captive
H4709
from Mizpah
H7725
turned
H5437
about
H3212
and came back, and went
H3110
unto Johanan
H1121
the son
H7143
of Kareah.
15
H3458
But Ishmael
H1121
the son
H5418
of Nethaniah
H4422
escaped
H6440
from
H3110
Johanan
H8083
with eight
H582
men,
H3212
and went
H1121
to the children of Ammon.
16
H3947
Then took
H3110
Johanan
H1121
the son
H7143
of Kareah,
H8269
and all the captains
H2428
of the forces
H7611
that were with him, all the remnant
H5971
of the people
H7725
whom he had recovered
H3458
from Ishmael
H1121
the son
H5418
of Nethaniah,
H4709
from Mizpah,
H310
after
H5221
that he had slain
H1436
Gedaliah
H1121
the son
H296
of Ahikam,
H1397
to wit, the
H582
men
H4421
of war,
H802
and the women,
H2945
and the children,
H5631
and the eunuchs,
H7725
whom he had brought back
H1391
from Gibeon:
