Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 041

 

041:001Now 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.

 

041:002Then 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.

 

041:003Ishmael 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.

 

041:004And it came to pass the second day after he had slain
Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

 

041:005That 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.

 

041:006And 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.

 

041:007And 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.

 

041:008But 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.

 

041:009Now 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.

 

041:010Then 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.

 

041:011But 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,

 

041:012Then 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.

 

041:013Now 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.

 

041:014So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from
Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son
of Kareah.

 

041:015But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with
eight men, and went to the Ammonites.

 

041:016Then 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:

 

041:017And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham,
which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

 

041:018Because 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.
