Jeremiah 41
Revised Version 1895
1NowH1961 it cameH935 to passH935 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ElishamaH476, of the seedH2233 royalH4428, and one of the chief officers of the kingH4428, and tenH6235 menH376 with him, cameH935 unto GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 to MizpahH4709; and there they didH376 eatH398 breadH3899 togetherH3162 in MizpahH4709. 2Then aroseH6965 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and the tenH6235 menH376 that were with him, and smoteH5221 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 with the swordH2719, and slewH5221 him, whomH834 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had madeH6485 governor over the landH776. 3IshmaelH3458 also slewH5221 allH3605 the JewsH3064 that were with him, evenH853 with GedaliahH1436, at MizpahH4709, and the ChaldeansH3778 that were foundH4672 there, evenH853 the menH376 of warH4421. 4And it cameH1961 to passH1961 the secondH8145 dayH3117 afterH1961 he had slain GedaliahH1436, and noH3808 manH376 knewH3045 it, 5that there cameH935 certainH376 from ShechemH7927, from ShilohH7887, and from SamariaH8111, even fourscore menH376, having their beardsH2206 shaven and their clothesH899 rent, and having cutH1548 themselves, with oblations and frankincenseH3828 in their handH3027, to bringH935 them to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 6And IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 wentH1980 forthH3318 from MizpahH4709 to meetH6298 them, weepingH1058 allH4480 alongH853 as he wentH1980: and it cameH935 to passH935, as he metH6298 them, he saidH559 unto them, ComeH935 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296. 7And it was soH1961, when they cameH935 intoH413 the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 slewH7819 them, and cast them intoH413 the midstH8432 of the pitH953, he, and the menH376 that were with him. 8But tenH6235 menH376 were foundH4672 among them that saidH559 unto IshmaelH3458, SlayH4191 usH413 notH3808: for weH3588 have storesH4301 hiddenH4301 in the fieldH7704, of wheatH2406, and of barleyH8184, and of oilH8081, and of honeyH1706. SoH3808 he forbare, and slew them notH3808 among their brethrenH251. 9NowH3027 the pitH953 whereinH834 IshmaelH3458 castH7993 allH3605 the deadH6297 bodiesH6297 of the menH376 whomH834 he had slainH5221, by the sideH3027 of GedaliahH1436, (the sameH1931 was that whichH834 AsaH609 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 for fear of BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478,) IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 filledH4390 it with them that were slainH5221. 10Then IshmaelH3458 carriedH7617 awayH7617 captiveH7617 allH3605 the residue of the peopleH5971 that were in MizpahH4709, evenH853 the king’sH4428 daughtersH1323, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in MizpahH4709, whomH834 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 had committedH6485 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296: IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 carriedH7617 them awayH7617 captiveH7617, and departed to goH5674 over to the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. 11But when JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and allH3605 the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were with him, heardH8085 of allH3605 the evilH7451 that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 had doneH6213, 12then they tookH3947 allH3605 the menH376, and wentH413 to fightH3898 with IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and foundH4672 him by the greatH7227 watersH4325 that are in GibeonH1391. 13NowH1961 it cameH1961 to passH1961 that when allH3605 the peopleH5971 whichH834 were with IshmaelH3458 sawH7200 JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and allH3605 the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were with him, then they were gladH8055. 14SoH4480 allH3605 the peopleH5971 that IshmaelH3458 had carriedH7617 awayH7725 captiveH7617 from MizpahH4709 cast aboutH413 and returnedH7725, and wentH7725 unto JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143. 15But IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 escapedH4422 from JohananH3110 with eightH8083 menH376, and wentH413 to the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. 16Then tookH3947 JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and allH3605 the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were with him, allH3605 the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971 whomH834 he had recoveredH7725 from IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, from MizpahH4709, afterH310 that he had slainH5221 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, evenH853 the menH376 of warH4421, and the womenH802, and the childrenH1121, and the eunuchsH5631, whomH834 he had broughtH7725 againH7725 from GibeonH1391: 17and they departedH935, and dweltH3427 in GeruthH1628 ChimhamH3643, whichH834 is by BethlehemH1035, to goH935 to enterH935 intoH935 EgyptH4714, 18becauseH3588 of the ChaldeansH3778: for they were afraidH3372 of them, becauseH3588 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 had slainH5221 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, whomH834 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 madeH6485 governor over the landH776.
