Jeremiah 41:1
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:2 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:3 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:4 |
|
And it came to pass the second day after he
had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it, |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:5 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:6 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:7 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:8 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:9 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:10 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:11 |
|
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, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:12 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:13 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:14 |
|
So all the people that Ishmael had carried away
captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of
Kareah. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:15 |
|
But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from
Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:16 |
|
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: |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:17 |
|
And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation
of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 41:18 |
|
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. |
