Context of Jeremiah 41:15

13All the people that Ishmael had taken as his prisoners saw Johanan and the officers who were with him. They were very happy to see them. 14All the people that Ishmael had taken away from Mizpah ran away from him. They went to join Kareah's son Johanan. But Ishmael and eight of his men escaped from Johanan. They went to live among the Ammonite people. 16Johanan and the army officers who were with him led the people away from Gibeon. Those were the people who were still alive in Mizpah after Ishmael had murdered Gedaliah. Now Johanan and his men had rescued them from Ishmael. Johanan brought those men, women, children, soldiers and palace officers away from Gibeon. 17They started on the way towards Egypt. They stopped at Geruth Kimham, a town that is near Bethlehem.
