Jeremiah 40:15--41:15

40:15

Then Johanan
<03110>

the son
<01121>

of Kareah
<07143>

spake
<0559> (8804)

to Gedaliah
<01436>

in Mizpah
<04709>

secretly
<05643>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let me go
<03212> (8799)_,

I pray thee, and I will slay
<05221> (8686)

Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>_,

and no man
<0376>

shall know
<03045> (8799)

[it]: wherefore should he slay
<05221> (8686) <05315>

thee, that all the Jews
<03064>

which are gathered
<06908> (8737)

unto thee should be scattered
<06327> (8738)_,

and the remnant
<07611>

in Judah
<03063>

perish
<06> (8804)_?

40:16

But Gedaliah
<01436>

the son
<01121>

of Ahikam
<0296>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Johanan
<03110>

the son
<01121>

of Kareah
<07143>_,

Thou shalt not do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_:

for thou speakest
<01696> (8802)

falsely
<08267>

of Ishmael
<03458>_.

41:1

Now it came to pass in the seventh
<07637>

month
<02320>_,

[that] Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>

the son
<01121>

of Elishama
<0476>_,

of the seed
<02233>

royal
<04410>_,

and the princes
<07227>

of the king
<04428>_,

even ten
<06235>

men
<0582>

with him, came
<0935> (8804)

unto Gedaliah
<01436>

the son
<01121>

of Ahikam
<0296>

to Mizpah
<04709>_;

and there they did eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

together
<03162>

in Mizpah
<04708>_.

41:2

Then arose
<06965> (8799)

Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>_,

and the ten
<06235>

men
<0582>

that were with him, and smote
<05221> (8686)

Gedaliah
<01436>

the son
<01121>

of Ahikam
<0296>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>

with the sword
<02719>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him, whom the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

had made governor
<06485> (8689)

over the land
<0776>_.

41:3

Ishmael
<03458>

also slew
<05221> (8689)

all the Jews
<03064>

that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah
<01436>_,

at Mizpah
<04709>_,

and the Chaldeans
<03778>

that were found
<04672> (8738)

there, [and] the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>_.

41:4

And it came to pass the second
<08145>

day
<03117>

after he had slain
<04191> (8687)

Gedaliah
<01436>_,

and no man
<0376>

knew
<03045> (8804)

[it],

41:5

That there came
<0935> (8799)

certain
<0582>

from Shechem
<07927>_,

from Shiloh
<07887>_,

and from Samaria
<08111>_,

[even] fourscore
<08084>

men
<0376>_,

having their beards
<02206>

shaven
<01548> (8794)_,

and their clothes
<0899>

rent
<07167> (8803)_,

and having cut
<01413> (8706)

themselves, with offerings
<04503>

and incense
<03828>

in their hand
<03027>_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

[them] to the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

41:6

And Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>

went forth
<03318> (8799)

from Mizpah
<04709>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them, weeping
<01058> (8802)

all along
<01980> (8800)

as he went
<01980> (8802)_:

and it came to pass, as he met
<06298> (8800)

them, he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Come
<0935> (8798)

to Gedaliah
<01436>

the son
<01121>

of Ahikam
<0296>_.

{weeping...: Heb. in going and weeping}

41:7

And it was [so], when they came
<0935> (8800)

into the midst
<08432>

of the city
<05892>_,

that Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>

slew
<07819> (8799)

them, [and cast them] into the midst
<08432>

of the pit
<0953>_,

he, and the men
<0582>

that [were] with him.

41:8

But ten
<06235>

men
<0582>

were found
<04672> (8738)

among them that said
<0559> (8799)

unto Ishmael
<03458>_,

Slay
<04191> (8686)

us not: for we have
<03426>

treasures
<04301>

in the field
<07704>_,

of wheat
<02406>_,

and of barley
<08184>_,

and of oil
<08081>_,

and of honey
<01706>_.

So he forbare
<02308> (8799)_,

and slew
<04191> (8689)

them not among
<08432>

their brethren
<0251>_.

41:9

Now the pit
<0953>

wherein Ishmael
<03458>

had cast
<07993> (8689)

all the dead bodies
<06297>

of the men
<0582>_,

whom he had slain
<05221> (8689)

because
<03027>

of Gedaliah
<01436>_,

[was] it which Asa
<0609>

the king
<04428>

had made
<06213> (8804)

for fear
<06440>

of Baasha
<01201>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_:

[and] Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>

filled
<04390> (8765)

it with [them that were] slain
<02491>_.

{because...: or, near Gedaliah: Heb. by the hand, or, by the side of Gedaliah}

41:10

Then Ishmael
<03458>

carried away captive
<07617> (8799)

all the residue
<07611>

of the people
<05971>

that [were] in Mizpah
<04709>_,

[even] the king's
<04428>

daughters
<01323>_,

and all the people
<05971>

that remained
<07604> (8737)

in Mizpah
<04709>_,

whom Nebuzaradan
<05018>

the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

had committed
<06485> (8689)

to Gedaliah
<01436>

the son
<01121>

of Ahikam
<0296>_:

and Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>

carried them away captive
<07617> (8799)_,

and departed
<03212> (8799)

to go over
<05674> (8800)

to the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_.

41:11

But when Johanan
<03110>

the son
<01121>

of Kareah
<07143>_,

and all the captains
<08269>

of the forces
<02428>

that [were] with him, heard
<08085> (8799)

of all the evil
<07451>

that Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>

had done
<06213> (8804)_,

41:12

Then they took
<03947> (8799)

all the men
<0582>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

him by the great
<07227>

waters
<04325>

that [are] in Gibeon
<01391>_.

41:13

Now it came to pass, [that] when all the people
<05971>

which [were] with Ishmael
<03458>

saw
<07200> (8800)

Johanan
<03110>

the son
<01121>

of Kareah
<07143>_,

and all the captains
<08269>

of the forces
<02428>

that [were] with him, then they were glad
<08055> (8799)_.

41:14

So all the people
<05971>

that Ishmael
<03458>

had carried away captive
<07617> (8804)

from Mizpah
<04709>

cast about
<05437> (8799)

and returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

unto Johanan
<03110>

the son
<01121>

of Kareah
<07143>_.

41:15

But Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>

escaped
<04422> (8738)

from
<06440>

Johanan
<03110>

with eight
<08083>

men
<0582>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_.
