Johanan.Johanan and his companions seem to have acted honestly in this affair. They had received intelligence of designs formed against Gedaliah's life, and consequently against the whole new settlement. Ishmael, being a branch of David's family, was probably displeased that another was preferred above him; and the king of the Ammonites, out of hatred to the Jews, employed him to slay Gedaliah. But Gedaliah, conscious of his own integrity and benevolence, took the portrait of others from his own mind; and therefore believed evil of no man, because he felt none towards any in his own breast. He may be reproached for being too credulous and confiding; but this only serves to shew the greatness of his soul; for a little mind is always suspicious, and ready to believe the worst of every person and thing. 6-8 Ammonites.25:21; 41:10; 49:1-6; 1Sa 11:1-3; 2Sa 10:1-6; Eze 25:2-6Am 1:13-15Ishmael.8; 41:2,10; Pr 26:23-26; Isa 26:10; Mic 7:5slay thee?
