Jeremiah 41

1And it cameH935 to pass in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 the sonH1121 of ElishamaH476, of the royal seedH2233, and [oneH376] of the king's chief menH376, and tenH6235 menH376 with him, cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 unto MizpahH4709, and there they ateH398 breadH3899 togetherH3162, in MizpahH4709. 2And IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 aroseH6965, and the tenH6235 menH376 that were with him, and smote GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 with the swordH2719, and killed him, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had appointedH6485 over the landH776. 3And IshmaelH3458 smote all the JewsH3064 that were with him, with GedaliahH1436, at MizpahH4709, and the ChaldeansH3778 that were foundH4672 there, the menH376 of warH4421. 4And it came to pass the secondH8145 dayH3117 after he had killedH4191 GedaliahH1436, and no manH376 knewH3045 it, 5that there cameH935 menH376 from ShechemH7927, from ShilohH7887, and from SamariaH8111, eightyH8084 menH376, having their beardsH2206 shaven and their clothesH899 rent, and having cut themselves; with oblations and incense in their handH3027, to bringH935 them to the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 6And IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 wentH1980 forthH3318 from MizpahH4709 to meetH6298 them, weepingH1058 all along as he wentH1980; and it cameH935 to pass when he metH6298 them, he saidH559 unto them, ComeH935 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296. 7And it wasH1961 so, when they cameH935 into the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, he and the menH376 that were with him, slew them, [and cast them] into the midstH8432 of the pitH953. 8But tenH6235 menH376 were foundH4672 among them that saidH559 unto IshmaelH3458, Do not killH4191 us, for we have hidden stores in the fieldH7704, of wheatH2406, and of barleyH8184, and of oilH8081, and of honeyH1706. So he forbore, and did not killH4191 them among their brethren. 9And the pitH953 into which IshmaelH3458 had castH7993 all the dead bodies of the menH376 whom he had slain by the side of GedaliahH1436 was the oneH376 which AsaH609 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 for fear of BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478: IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 filledH4390 it with the slain. 10And IshmaelH3458 carried away captiveH7617 all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971 that were in MizpahH4709, the king's daughtersH1323, and all the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in MizpahH4709, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard had committed to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296: IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 carried them away captiveH7617, and departed to go over to the children of AmmonH5983. 11And JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heardH8085 of all the evilH7451 that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 had done; 12and they tookH3947 all the menH376, and went to fightH3898 with IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and foundH4672 him by the greatH7227 watersH4325 that are at GibeonH1391. 13And it came to pass when all the peopleH5971 that were with IshmaelH3458 sawH7200 JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were gladH8055. 14And all the peopleH5971 that IshmaelH3458 had carried awayH7725 captiveH7617 from MizpahH4709 turnedH7725 about and came backH7725, and wentH7725 to JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143. 15But IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 escapedH4422 from JohananH3110 with eightH8083 menH376, and went to the children of AmmonH5983. 16Then JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, tookH3947 all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971 whom he had recovered from IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, from MizpahH4709, after he had slain GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the mighty menH376 of warH4421, and the womenH802, and the children, and the eunuchsH5631, whom he had broughtH7725 again from GibeonH1391; 17and they departed, and dweltH3427 at Geruth-Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to goH935 to enter into EgyptH4714, 18because of the ChaldeansH3778; for they fearedH3372 them, because IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 had smitten GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had appointedH6485 over the landH776.
