Context of Jeremiah 41:14
12they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael. They caught up with him at the large pool in Gibeon. 13When all the people who were with Ishmael saw Kareah’s son Johanan and all the army commanders who were with him, they were glad. Then all the people Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and ran to Kareah’s son Johanan. 15Ishmael and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and fled to Ammon. 16Then Kareah’s son Johanan and all the army commanders who were with him brought back the rest of the people of Mizpah whom he had rescued from Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah, son of Ahikam. Johanan brought back men, women, children, soldiers, and commanders from Gibeon.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-18Verses 11-18 The success of villany must be short, and none can prosper who harden their hearts against God. And those justly lose comfort in real fears, who excuse themselves in sin by pretended fears. The removal of a prudent and peaceable ruler, and the succession of another who is rash and ambitious, affects the welfare of many. Only those are happy and steady who fear the Lord and walk in his ways.Read the comment
