22Now as for the peopleH5971 who were leftH7604 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, whomH834 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had leftH7604, he appointedH6485 1GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 overH5921 them. 232When allH3605 the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428, they and their menH376, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had appointedH6485 GedaliahH1436 governor, they cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 to 3MizpahH4709, namely, IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and JohananH3076 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of TanhumethH8576 the NetophathiteH5200, and JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of the MaacathiteH4602, they and their menH376. 24GedaliahH1436 sworeH7650 to them and their menH376 and saidH559 to them, “Do not be afraidH3372 of the servantsH5650 of the ChaldeansH3778; liveH3427 in the landH776 and serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and it will be wellH3190 with you.”

254But it cameH1961 about in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ElishamaH476, of the royalH4410 5familyH2233, cameH935 6with tenH6235 menH376 and struckH5221 GedaliahH1436 down so that he diedH4191 along with the JewsH3064 and the ChaldeansH3778 whoH834 were with him at MizpahH4709. 267Then allH3605 the peopleH5971, bothH4480 smallH6996 and greatH1419, and the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 aroseH6965 and wentH935 to EgyptH4714; for they were afraidH3372 of the ChaldeansH3778.
