Jeremiah 41:4-7

4Now it happenedH1961 on the 1nextH8145 dayH3117 after the killingH4191 of GedaliahH1436, when noH3808 oneH376 knewH3045 about it,

5that eightyH8084 menH376 2cameH935 from 3ShechemH7927, from 4ShilohH7887, and from 5SamariaH8111 with 6their beardsH2206 shavedH1548 offH1548 and their clothesH899 tornH7167 and 7their bodies 8gashedH1413, having grain offeringsH4503 and incenseH3828 in their handsH3027 to bringH935 to the 9houseH1004 of the LordH3068.

6Then IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 wentH3318 out from MizpahH4709 to meetH7122 them, 10weepingH1058 as he wentH1980; and as he metH6298 them, he saidH559 to them, “ComeH935 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296!”

7Yet it turnedH1961 out that as soon as they cameH935 insideH8432 the cityH5892, IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 and the menH376 that were with him 11slaughteredH7819 them and cast them into the cisternH953.
