22And as for the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, whomH834 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had leftH7604, evenH853 over them he madeH6485 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, governor. 23NowH3588 when allH3605 the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428, they and their menH376, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had madeH6485 GedaliahH1436 governorH8269, they cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 to MizpahH4709, evenH3588 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of TanhumethH8576 the NetophathiteH5200, and JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of the MaacathiteH4602, they and their menH376. 24And GedaliahH1436 sware to them and to their menH376, and saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 notH408 becauseH559 of the servantsH5650 of the ChaldeansH3778: dwellH3427 in the landH776, and serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and it shall be wellH3190 with youH853. 25But it cameH935 to passH935 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ElishamaH476, of the seedH2233 royalH4410, cameH935, and tenH6235 menH376 with him, and smoteH5221 GedaliahH1436, that he diedH4191, and the JewsH3064 and the ChaldeansH3778 that were with him at MizpahH4709. 26And allH3605 the peopleH5971, bothH3605 smallH6996 and greatH1419, and the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428, aroseH6965, and cameH935 to EgyptH4714: for they were afraidH3372 of the ChaldeansH3778. 27And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the sevenH7651 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the captivity of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfth monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, that Evil-merodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, in the yearH8141 that he beganH1961 to reignH4427, did liftH5375 upH5375 the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 outH8147 of prisonH3608; 28and he spake kindlyH2896 to him, and setH5414 his throneH3678 aboveH5921 the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428 that were with him in BabylonH894. 29and he changedH8132 his prisonH3608 garmentsH899, and didH3117 eatH398 breadH3899 beforeH6440 him continuallyH8548 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117. 30and for his allowanceH737, there was a continualH8548 allowanceH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428, everyH3605 dayH3117 a portionH1697, allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117.
