Jeremiah 40:9-12
9Then Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, 1swore to them and to their men, saying, “2Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans; stay in the land and serve the king of Babylon, so that it may go well for you. 10Now as for me, behold, I am going to stay in Mizpah to 3stand for you before the Chaldeans who come to us; but as for you, 4gather wine, 5summer fruit, and oil, and put them in your storage vessels, and live in your cities that you have taken over.” 11Likewise, also all the Jews who were in 6Moab and among the sons of 7Ammon and in 8Edom, and who were in all the other countries, heard that the king of Babylon had 9left a remnant for Judah, and that he had appointed over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan. 12Then all the Jews 10returned from all the places to which they had been scattered and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruit in great abundance.
