Jeremiah 41:11-16

11But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the 1commanders of the forces that were with him heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done.

12So they took all the men and went to 2fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and they found him by the 3great 4pool that is in Gibeon.

13Now as soon as all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah and the commanders of the forces that were with him, they were glad.

14So all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.

15But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah 5escaped from Johanan with eight men and went to the sons of Ammon.

16Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were with him took from Mizpah 6all the remnant of the people whom he had 7recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, that is, the men who were 8soldiers, the women, the 9children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
