Jeremiah 41:7-9

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.

8But tenH6235 menH582 were foundH4672 among them that saidH559 unto IshmaelH3458, SlayH4191 us not: for we haveH3426 treasuresH4301 in the fieldH7704, of wheatH2406, and of barleyH8184, and of oilH8081, and of honeyH1706. So he forbareH2308, and slewH4191 them not amongH8432 their brethrenH251.

9Now the pitH953 wherein IshmaelH3458 had castH7993 all the dead bodiesH6297 of the menH582, whom he had slainH5221 becauseH3027 of GedaliahH1436, was it which AsaH609 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 for fearH6440 of BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478: and IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 filledH4390 it with them that were slainH2491.1
