Gedaliah Murdered

1 fIn the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of the royal family, one of the chief officers of the king, came with ten men to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, at gMizpah. As they hate bread together there at Mizpah, 2 iIshmael the son of Nethaniah and the ten men with him rose up and struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, with the sword, and killed him, jwhom the king of Babylon had appointed governor in the land. 3Ishmael also struck down all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah at kMizpah, and the Chaldean soldiers who happened to be there.

4On the day after the murder of Gedaliah, before anyone knew of it, 5eighty men arrived from lShechem and mShiloh and nSamaria, with otheir beards shaved and ptheir clothes torn, and qtheir bodies gashed, rbringing grain offerings and incense to present at the temple of the Lord. 6And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah came out from sMizpah to meet them, weeping as he came. As he met them, he said to them, “Come in to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.” 7When they came into the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and cast them into a cistern. 8But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not put us to death, for we have tstores of wheat, barley, oil, and honey hidden in the fields.” So he refrained and did not put them to death with their companions.

9Now the cistern into which Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men whom he had struck down along with
Hebrew by the hand of
Gedaliah was the large cistern that vKing Asa had made for defense against wBaasha king of Israel; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.
10Then Ishmael took captive all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, xthe king’s daughters and all the people who were left at Mizpah, whom yNebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah took them captive and set out to cross over to zthe Ammonites.

11But when aaJohanan the son of Kareah and aball the leaders of the forces with him heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done, 12they took all their men and went to fight against Ishmael the son of Nethaniah. They came upon him at acthe great pool that is in adGibeon. 13And when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah and aeall the leaders of the forces with him, they rejoiced. 14 afSo all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah. 15But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to agthe Ammonites. 16Then Johanan the son of Kareah and ahall the leaders of the forces with him took from Mizpah all the rest of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikamsoldiers, aiwomen, children, and eunuchs, whom Johanan brought back from ajGibeon.
