Jeremiah 41:6-9

6Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, 1weeping 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 2slaughtered them and cast them into the cistern. 8But ten men who were found among them said to Ishmael, “Do not put us to death; for we have 3stores of wheat, barley, oil and honey hidden in the field.” So he refrained and did not put them to death along with their companions.

9Now as for the cistern where Ishmael had cast all the corpses of the men whom he had struck down 4because of Gedaliah, it was the 5one that King Asa had made on 6account of Baasha, king of Israel; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.
