Jeremiah 41:2-7
2Then aroseH6965 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and the tenH6235 menH582 that were with him, and smoteH5221 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 with the swordH2719, and slewH4191 him, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had made governorH6485 over the landH776.
3IshmaelH3458 also slewH5221 all the JewsH3064 that were with him, even with GedaliahH1436, at MizpahH4709, and the ChaldeansH3778 that were foundH4672 there, and the menH582 of warH4421.
4And it came to pass the secondH8145 dayH3117 after he had slainH4191 GedaliahH1436, and no manH376 knewH3045 it,
5That there cameH935 certainH582 from ShechemH7927, from ShilohH7887, and from SamariaH8111, even fourscoreH8084 menH376, having their beardsH2206 shavenH1548, and their clothesH899 rentH7167, and having cutH1413 themselves, with offeringsH4503 and incenseH3828 in their handH3027, to bringH935 them to the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.
6And IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 went forthH3318 from MizpahH4709 to meetH7125 them, weepingH1058 all alongH1980 as he wentH1980: and it came to pass, as he metH6298 them, he saidH559 unto them, ComeH935 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296.1
7And it was so, when they cameH935 into the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 slewH7819 them, and cast them into the midstH8432 of the pitH953, he, and the menH582 that were with him.
