5As 1Jeremiah was stillH5750 not goingH7725 backH7725, 2he said, “GoH7725 on backH7725 then to 3GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, whomH834 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 has 4appointedH6485 over the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and stayH3427 with him amongH8432 the peopleH5971; orH176 else goH1980 anywhereH3605 it seems rightH3477 for you to goH1980.” So the captainH7227 of the bodyguardH2876 gaveH5414 him a 5rationH737 and a 6giftH4864, and letH7971 him goH7971. 6Then JeremiahH3414 wentH935 to 7MizpahH4709 to 8GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 and stayedH3427 with him amongH8432 the peopleH5971 who were leftH7604 in the landH776.
79Now allH3605 the commandersH8269 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 inH6485 chargeH6485 of the menH376, womenH802, and 10childrenH2945, those of the 11poorestH1803 of the landH776 whoH834 had not been exiledH1540 to BabylonH894.
