71Now allH3605 the 2commandersH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were in the fieldH7704, they and their menH376, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had appointedH6485 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 over the landH776 and that he had putH6485 him in chargeH6485 of the menH376, womenH802 and 3childrenH2945, those of the 4poorestH1803 of the landH776 whoH834 had not been exiledH1540 to BabylonH894. 8So they cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 at MizpahH4709, along with 5IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and 6JohananH3076 and JonathanH3083 the sonsH1121 of KareahH7143, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of TanhumethH8576, and the sonsH1121 of EphaiH5778 the 7NetophathiteH5200, and 8JezaniahH3153 the sonH1121 of the 9MaacathiteH4602, both they and their menH376. 9Then GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, 10sworeH7650 to them and to their menH376, sayingH559, “11Do not be afraidH3372 of servingH5647 the ChaldeansH3778; stayH3427 in the landH776 and serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, that it may goH3190 wellH3190 with you. 10Now as for me, beholdH2009, I am going to stayH3427 at MizpahH4709 to 12standH5975 for you beforeH6440 the ChaldeansH3778 whoH834 comeH935 to us; but as for you, 13gatherH622 in wineH3196 and 14summerH7019 fruitH7019 and oilH8081 and putH7760 them in your storage vesselsH3627, and liveH3427 in your citiesH5892 that you have takenH8610 overH8610.” 11Likewise, alsoH1571 allH3605 the JewsH3064 whoH834 were in 15MoabH4124 and among the sonsH1121 of 16AmmonH5983 and in 17EdomH112 and whoH834 were in allH3605 the other countriesH776, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had leftH5414 a remnantH7611 for JudahH3063, and that he had appointedH6485 overH5921 them GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227. 12Then allH3605 the JewsH3064 18returnedH7725 from allH3605 the placesH4725 to whichH834 they had been drivenH5080 awayH5080 and cameH935 to the landH776 of JudahH3063, to GedaliahH1436 at MizpahH4709, and gatheredH622 in wineH3196 and summerH7019 fruitH7019 in greatH3966 abundanceH7235.
