Jeremiah 41:14-18

14So all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.

15But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah 1escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the sons of Ammon.

16Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were with him took from Mizpah 2all the remnant of the people whom he had 3recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck and killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, that is, the men who were 4soldiers, the women, the 5children, and the high officials, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.

17And they went and stayed in 6 7Geruth Chimham, which is beside Bethlehem, in order to 8proceed into Egypt

18because of the Chaldeans; for they were 9afraid of them, since Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had struck and killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom 10the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
