Jeremiah 40:11-15
11Likewise when all the JewsH3064 that were in MoabH4124, and among the AmmonitesH5983, and in EdomH123, and that were in all the countriesH776, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had leftH5414 a remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, and that he had setH6485 over them GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227; 12Even all the JewsH3064 returned outH7725 of all placesH4725 where they were drivenH5080, and cameH935 to the landH776 of JudahH3063, to GedaliahH1436, to MizpahH4708, and gatheredH622 wineH3196 and summer fruitsH7019 in abundanceH3966H7235. 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 to him, Dost thou certainlyH3045 knowH3045 that BaalisH1185 the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983 hath sentH7971 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 to slayH5221H5315 thee? But GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 believedH539 them not.1 15Then JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143 spokeH559 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 : why should he slayH5221H5315 thee, that all the JewsH3064 who are gatheredH6908 to thee should be scatteredH6327, and the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063 perishH6?
