1 Now it came to pass in the sev­enth month, that Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah the son of El­ishama, of the seed roy­al, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedali­ah the son of Ahikam to Miz­pah; and there they did eat bread to­geth­er in Miz­pah. 2 Then arose Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedali­ah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Baby­lon had made gov­er­nor over the land. 3 Ish­mael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedali­ah, at Miz­pah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war. 4 And it came to pass the sec­ond day af­ter he had slain Gedali­ah, and no man knew it, 5 That there came cer­tain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, hav­ing their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and hav­ing cut them­selves, with of­fer­ings and in­cense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD. 6 And Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah went forth from Miz­pah to meet them, weep­ing all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedali­ah the son of Ahikam. 7 And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him. 8 But ten men were found among them that said unto Ish­mael, Slay us not: for we have trea­sures in the field, of wheat, and of bar­ley, and of oil, and of hon­ey. So he for­bare, and slew them not among their brethren. 9 Now the pit where­in Ish­mael had cast all the dead bod­ies of the men, whom he had slain be­cause of Gedali­ah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Is­rael: and Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah filled it with them that were slain. 10 Then Ish­mael car­ried away cap­tive all the residue of the peo­ple that were in Miz­pah, even the king's daugh­ters, and all the peo­ple that re­mained in Miz­pah, whom Neb­uzaradan the cap­tain of the guard had com­mit­ted to Gedali­ah the son of Ahikam: and Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah car­ried them away cap­tive, and de­part­ed to go over to the Am­monites. 11 But when Jo­hanan the son of Kareah, and all the cap­tains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah had done, 12 Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah, and found him by the great wa­ters that are in Gibeon. 13 Now it came to pass, that when all the peo­ple which were with Ish­mael saw Jo­hanan the son of Kareah, and all the cap­tains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad. 14 So all the peo­ple that Ish­mael had car­ried away cap­tive from Miz­pah cast about and re­turned, and went unto Jo­hanan the son of Kareah. 15 But Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah es­caped from Jo­hanan with eight men, and went to the Am­monites. 16 Then took Jo­hanan the son of Kareah, and all the cap­tains of the forces that were with him, all the rem­nant of the peo­ple whom he had re­cov­ered from Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah, from Miz­pah, af­ter that he had slain Gedali­ah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the wom­en, and the chil­dren, and the eu­nuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon: 17 And they de­part­ed, and dwelt in the habi­ta­tion of Chimham, which is by Beth­le­hem, to go to en­ter into Egypt, 18 Be­cause of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, be­cause Ish­mael the son of Netha­ni­ah had slain Gedali­ah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Baby­lon made gov­er­nor in the land.
