13Moreover JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were in the fieldsH7704, cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 to MizpahH4708, 14And saidH559 unto him, Dost thou certainlyH3045 knowH3045 that BaalisH1185 the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH5983H1121 hath sentH7971 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 to slayH5315H5221 thee? But GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 believedH539 them not.1 15Then JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143 spakeH559 to GedaliahH1436 in MizpahH4709 secretlyH5643, sayingH559, Let me goH3212, I pray thee, and I will slayH5221 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and no manH376 shall knowH3045 it: wherefore should he slayH5315H5221 thee, that all the JewsH3064 which are gatheredH6908 unto thee should be scatteredH6327, and the remnantH7611 in JudahH3063 perishH6? 16But GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 saidH559 unto JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, Thou shalt not doH6213 this thingH1697: for thou speakestH1696 falselyH8267 of IshmaelH3458.
