Jeremiah 40:14-16

14and saidH559 to him, “Are you wellH3045 awareH3045 that BaalisH1185 the kingH4428 of the sonsH1121 of 1AmmonH5983 has sentH7971 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 to takeH5221 your lifeH5315?” But GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 did not believeH539 them.

15Then JohananH3076 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143 spokeH559 secretlyH5643 to GedaliahH1436 in MizpahH4709, sayingH559, “2Let me goH1980 and killH5221 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and not a manH376 will knowH3045! WhyH4100 should he 3takeH5221 your lifeH5315, so that allH3605 the JewsH3063 who are gatheredH6908 to you would be scatteredH6327 and the 4remnantH7611 of JudahH3063 would perishH6?”

16But GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 saidH559 to JohananH3076 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, “5Do not doH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697, for you are tellingH1696 a lieH8267 aboutH413 IshmaelH3458.”
