2 Kings 25:22-30

22And as for the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, whom NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had leftH7604, even over them he made GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, governor. 23Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their menH376, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had made GedaliahH1436 governor, they cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 to MizpahH4709, even IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of TanhumethH8576 the NetophathiteH5200, and JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of the MaacathiteH4602, they and their menH376. 24And GedaliahH1436 sware to them and to their menH376, and saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 not because of the servantsH5650 of the ChaldeansH3778: dwellH3427 in the landH776, and serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and it shall be wellH3190 with you. 25But it cameH935 to pass in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ElishamaH476, of the seedH2233 royal, cameH935, and tenH6235 menH376 with him, and smote GedaliahH1436, so that he diedH4191, and the JewsH3064 and the ChaldeansH3778 that were with him at MizpahH4709. 26And all the peopleH5971, both smallH6996 and greatH1419, and the captains of the forces, aroseH6965, and cameH935 to EgyptH4714; for they were afraidH3372 of the ChaldeansH3778.

27And it came to pass in the sevenH7651 and thirtieth yearH8141 of the captivity of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfth monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentieth day of the monthH2320, that Evil-merodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, in the yearH8141 that he began to reignH4427, did liftH5375 up the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 out of prison; 28and he spake kindly to him, and setH5414 his throneH3678 above the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428 that were with him in BabylonH894, 29and changed his prison garmentsH899. And Jehoiachin did eatH398 breadH3899 before him continuallyH8548 all the daysH3117 of his life: 30and for his allowanceH737, there was a continual allowanceH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428, every dayH3117 a portion, all the daysH3117 of his life.
