‏ Jeremiah 41:4-7

v. 4–7: Soon after, some men from Shechem, Samaria, and Shiloh came to mourn the destruction of Jerusalem. They brought offerings, hoping to honor the ruins of the temple. Ishmael pretended to be sad with them, tricked them into coming inside Mizpah, and then killed most of them. Their bodies were thrown into a large pit that had been dug long ago by King Asa (Jeremiah 41:4–7; 1 Kings 15:22 a).
