Jeremiah 41:5-9

5that eightyH8084 menH376 1cameH935 from 2ShechemH7927, from 3ShilohH7887, and from 4SamariaH8111 with 5their beardsH2206 shavedH1548 offH1548 and their clothesH899 tornH7167 and 6their bodies 7gashedH1413, having grain offeringsH4503 and incenseH3828 in their handsH3027 to bringH935 to the 8houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 6Then IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 wentH3318 out from MizpahH4709 to meetH7122 them, 9weepingH1058 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 10slaughteredH7819 them and cast them into the cisternH953. 8But tenH6235 menH376 who were foundH4672 among them saidH559 to IshmaelH3458, “Do not putH4191 us to deathH4191; for we haveH3426 11storesH4301 of wheatH2406, barleyH8184, oilH8081 and honeyH1706 hiddenH4301 in the fieldH7704.” So he refrainedH2308 and did not putH4191 them to deathH4191 alongH8432 with their companionsH251.

9Now as for the cisternH953 whereH834H8033 IshmaelH3458 had castH7993 allH3605 the corpsesH6297 of the menH376 whomH834 he had struckH5221 downH5221 12becauseH3027 of GedaliahH1436, it was the 13one that KingH4428 AsaH609 had madeH6213 on 14accountH4480H6440 of BaashaH1201, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 filledH4390 it with the slainH2491.
