Jeremiah 40:13-16

13Moreover JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fieldsH7704, cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 to MizpahH4708, 14and saidH559 unto him, Dost thou knowH3045 that Baalis the kingH4428 of the children of AmmonH5983 hath sentH7971 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 to take thy lifeH5315? But GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 believedH539 them not. 15Then JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143 spake to GedaliahH1436 in MizpahH4709 secretly, sayingH559, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and no manH376 shall knowH3045 it: wherefore should he take thy lifeH5315, that all the Jews that are gatheredH6908 unto thee should be scatteredH6327, and the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063 perishH6? 16But GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 saidH559 unto JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, Thou shalt not do this thingH1697; for thou speakest falsely of IshmaelH3458.
