^[1] Now in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring 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. ^[2] Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, 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. ^[3] Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there. ^[4] The second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it, ^[5] men came 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 Yahweh’s house. ^[6] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and as he met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.” ^[7] It was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the pit, he, and the men who were with him. ^[8] 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. ^[9] Now the pit in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that 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. ^[10] Then Ishmael carried away captive all of the people who were left 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. ^[11] 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, ^[12] 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. ^[13] Now 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. ^[14] 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. ^[15] But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon. ^[16] Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon. ^[17] They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt ^[18] 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.

^[1] Now it came to pass in the seventhH7637 month,H2320 [that] IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 the sonH1121 of Elishama,H476 of the seedH2233 royal,H4410 and the princesH7227 of the

^[2] Then aroseH6965(QalImpf) IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of Nethaniah,H5418 and the tenH6235 menH582 that were with him, and smoteH5221(HiphImpf) GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 with the sword,H2719 and slewH4191(HiphImpf) him, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had made governorH6485(HiphPerf) over the land.H776 ^[3] IshmaelH3458 also slewH5221(HiphPerf) all the JewsH3064 that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah,H1436 at Mizpah,H4709 and the ChaldeansH3778 that were foundH4672(NiphPerf) there, [and] the menH582 of war.H4421 ^[4] And it came to pass the secondH8145 dayH3117 after he had slainH4191(HiphInf) Gedaliah,H1436 and no manH376 knewH3045(QalPerf) [it], ^[5] That there cameH935(QalImpf) certainH582 from Shechem,H7927 from Shiloh,H7887 and from Samaria,H8111 [even] fourscoreH8084 men,H376 having their beardsH2206 shaven,H1548(PualPtc) and their clothesH899 rent,H7167(QalPasPtc) and having cutH1413(HipoPtc) themselves, with offeringsH4503 and incenseH3828 in their hand,H3027 to bringH935(HiphInf) [them] to the houseH1004 of the Lord.H3068 ^[6] And IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 went forthH3318(QalImpf) from MizpahH4709 to meetH7125(QalInf) them, weepingH1058(QalActPtc) all alongH1980(QalInf) as he went:H1980(QalActPtc) and it came to pass, as he metH6298(QalInf) them, he saidH559(QalImpf) unto them, ComeH935(QalImpv) to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of Ahikam.H296 ^[7] And it was [so], when they cameH935(QalInf) into the midstH8432 of the city,H5892 that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 slewH7819(QalImpf) them, [and cast them] into the midstH8432 of the pit,H953 he, and the menH582 that [were] with him. ^[8] But tenH6235 menH582 were foundH4672(NiphPerf) among them that saidH559(QalImpf) unto Ishmael,H3458 SlayH4191(HiphImpf) us not: for we haveH3426 treasuresH4301 in the field,H7704 of wheat,H2406 and of barley,H8184 and of oil,H8081 and of honey.H1706 So he forbare,H2308(QalImpf) and slewH4191(HiphPerf) them not amongH8432 their brethren.H251 ^[9] Now the pitH953 wherein IshmaelH3458 had castH7993(HiphPerf) all the dead bodiesH6297 of the men,H582 whom he had slainH5221(HiphPerf) becauseH3027 of Gedaliah,H1436 [was] it which AsaH609 the kingH4428 had madeH6213(QalPerf) for fearH6440 of BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of Israel:H3478 [and] IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 filledH4390(PielPerf) it with [them that were] slain.H2491 ^[10] Then IshmaelH3458 carried away captiveH7617(QalImpf) all the residueH7611 of the peopleH5971 that [were] in Mizpah,H4709 [even] the king’sH4428 daughters,H1323 and all the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604(NiphPtc) in Mizpah,H4709 whom NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 had committedH6485(HiphPerf) to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of Ahikam:H296 and IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 carried them away captive,H7617(QalImpf) and departedH3212(QalImpf) to go overH5674(QalInf) to the Ammonites.H1121 ^[11] But when JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of Kareah,H7143 and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that [were] with him, heardH8085(QalImpf) of all the evilH7451 that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 had done,H6213(QalPerf) ^[12] Then they tookH3947(QalImpf) all the men,H582 and wentH3212(QalImpf) to fightH3898(NiphInf) with IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of Nethaniah,H5418 and foundH4672(QalImpf) him by the greatH7227 watersH4325 that [are] in Gibeon.H1391 ^[13] Now it came to pass, [that] when all the peopleH5971 which [were] with IshmaelH3458 sawH7200(QalInf) JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of Kareah,H7143 and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that [were] with him, then they were glad.H8055(QalImpf) ^[14] So all the peopleH5971 that IshmaelH3458 had carried away captiveH7617(QalPerf) from MizpahH4709 cast aboutH5437(QalImpf) and returned,H7725(QalImpf) and wentH3212(QalImpf) unto JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of Kareah.H7143 ^[15] But IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 escapedH4422(NiphPerf) fromH6440 JohananH3110 with eightH8083 men,H582 and wentH3212(QalImpf) to the Ammonites.H1121 ^[16] Then tookH3947(QalImpf) JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of Kareah,H7143 and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that [were] with him, all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971 whom he had recoveredH7725(HiphPerf) from IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of Nethaniah,H5418 from Mizpah,H4709 afterH310 [that] he had slainH5221(HiphPerf) GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of Ahikam,H296 [even] mightyH1397 menH582 of war,H4421 and the women,H802 and the children,H2945 and the eunuchs,H5631 whom he had brought againH7725(HiphPerf) from Gibeon:H1391 ^[17] And they departed,H3212(QalImpf) and dwelt inH3427(QalImpf) the habitationH1628 of Chimham,H3643 which is byH681 Bethlehem,H1035 to goH3212(QalInf) to enterH935(QalInf) into Egypt,H4714 ^[18] BecauseH6440 of the Chaldeans:H3778 for they were afraidH3372(QalPerf) of them, because IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 had slainH5221(HiphPerf) GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of Ahikam,H296 whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made governorH6485(HiphPerf) in the land.H776
