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.
