Jeremiah 41:1-7

11In the seventh month 2Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal 3family and one of the chief officers of the king, along with ten men, came to Mizpah to 4Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. While they 5were eating bread together there in Mizpah, 2Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him arose and 6struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword and 7put to death the one 8whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land. 3Ishmael also struck down all the Jews who were with him, that is with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.

4Now it happened on the 9next day after the killing of Gedaliah, when no one knew about it, 5that eighty men 10came from 11Shechem, from 12Shiloh, and from 13Samaria with 14their beards shaved off and their clothes torn and 15their bodies 16gashed, having grain offerings and incense in their hands to bring to the 17house of the Lord. 6Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, 18weeping as he went; and as he met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!” 7Yet it turned out that as soon as they came inside the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men that were with him 19slaughtered them and cast them into the cistern.
