NETBible

Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, took an oath so as to give them and their troops some assurance of safety.¹ “Do not be afraid to submit to the Babylonians.² Settle down in the land and submit to the king of Babylon. Then things will go well for you.

NET Notes

¹tn The words “so as to give them some assurance of safety” are not in the text but are generally understood by all commentators. This would be a case of substitution of cause for effect, the oath, put for the effect, the assurance of safety (NJPS translates directly “reassured them”).

²tn Heb “Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for explanation.
