Jeremiah 41:2-7

2During the meal, Ishmael and his ten men stood up. They took hold of their swords and they killed Gedaliah, Ahikam's son and grandson of Shaphan. Ishmael and his men killed the man that the king of Babylon had chosen to rule Judah.

3Ishmael also killed the men of Judah and the soldiers of Babylon who were there with Gedaliah.

4The next day, before anyone knew about Gedaliah's murder,

580 men arrived in Mizpah. They had come from their homes in Shechem, Shiloh and Samaria. They brought grain offerings and incense to offer to the Lord in his temple. They had cut off their beards, torn their clothes and cut their skin to show that they were very upset.

6Nethaniah's son Ishmael went out of the city to meet them. He was weeping as he went. When he met the men, he said to them, ‘Come with me to meet Ahikam's son Gedaliah.’

7So they all went into the city. Then Ishmael and his men killed them. They threw the dead bodies into a deep hole which stored water.
