1 Now it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the seventh H7637 D-ONUM month H2320 BD-NMS , that Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 CMS of Nethaniah H5418 the son H1121 CMS of Elishama H476 , of the seed H2233 royal H4410 , and the princes H7227 of the king H4428 D-NMS , even ten H6235 men H376 NMP with H854 PREP-3MS him , came H935 VQPMS unto H413 PREP Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 CMS of Ahikam H296 to Mizpah H4708 ; and there H8033 ADV they did eat H398 W-VQY3MP bread H3899 NMS together H3162 ADV-3MS in Mizpah H4709 .
2 Then arose H6965 W-VQY3MS Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 CMS of Nethaniah H5418 , and the ten H6235 men H376 D-NMP that H834 RPRO were H1961 VQQ3MP with H854 PREP-3MS him , and smote H5221 W-VHY3MP Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 CMS of Ahikam H296 the son H1121 CMS of Shaphan H8227 with the sword H2719 , and slew H4191 him , whom H834 RPRO the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS had made governor H6485 over the land H776 B-GFS .
3 Ishmael H3458 also slew H5221 all H3605 NMS the Jews H3064 that H834 RPRO were H1961 VQQ3MP with H854 PREP-3MS him , even with H854 PREP Gedaliah H1436 , at Mizpah H4709 , and the Chaldeans H3778 that H834 RPRO were found H4672 there H8033 ADV , and the men H376 of war H4421 .
4 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS the second H8145 D-ONUM day H3117 B-AMS after he had slain H4191 Gedaliah H1436 , and no H3808 NADV man H376 W-NMS knew H3045 it ,
5 That there came H935 W-VQY3MP certain H376 NMS from Shechem H7927 , from Shiloh H7887 , and from Samaria H8111 , even fourscore H8084 men H376 NMS , having their beards H2206 shaven H1548 , and their clothes H899 rent H7167 , and having cut themselves H1413 , with offerings H4503 and incense H3828 in their hand H3027 , to bring H935 L-VHFC them to the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
6 And Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 CMS of Nethaniah H5418 went forth H3318 W-VQY3MS from H4480 PREP Mizpah H4709 to meet H7125 them , weeping H1058 all along as he went H1980 : and it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS , as he met H6298 them , he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP them , Come H935 to H413 PREP Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 CMS of Ahikam H296 .
7 And it was H1961 W-VQY3MS so , when they came H935 into H413 PREP the midst H8432 of the city H5892 D-GFS , that Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418 slew H7819 them , and cast them into H413 PREP the midst H8432 of the pit H953 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS , and the men H376 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him .
8 But ten H6235 men H376 NMP were found H4672 among them that said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP Ishmael H3458 , Slay H4191 us not H408 NPAR : for H3588 CONJ we have H3426 ADV treasures H4301 in the field H7704 B-NMS , of wheat H2406 , and of barley H8184 , and of oil H8081 , and of honey H1706 . So he forbear H2308 , and slew H4191 them not H3808 W-NPAR among H8432 B-NMS their brethren H251 CMP-3MP .
9 Now the pit H953 wherein H834 RPRO Ishmael H3458 had cast H7993 all H3605 NMS the dead bodies H6297 of the men H376 D-NMP , whom H834 RPRO he had slain H5221 because H3027 B-CFS of Gedaliah H1436 , was it H1931 PPRO-3MS which H834 RPRO Asa H609 the king H4428 NMS had made H6213 VQQ3MS for fear H6440 M-CMP of Baasha H1201 king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 : and Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418 filled H4390 VPQ3MS it with them that were slain H2491 .
10 Then Ishmael H3458 carried away captive H7617 all H3605 NMS the residue H7611 of the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were in Mizpah H4709 , even the king H4428 D-NMS \'s daughters H1323 CFP , and all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that remained H7604 in Mizpah H4709 , whom H834 RPRO Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 AMS of the guard H2876 had committed H6485 to Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296 : and Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418 carried them away captive H7617 , and departed H1980 W-VQY3MS to go over H5674 to H413 PREP the Ammonites H1121 .
11 But when Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah H7143 , and all H3605 NMS the captains H8269 CMP of the forces H2428 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him , heard H8085 of all H3605 NMS the evil H7451 D-AFS that H834 RPRO Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418 had done H6213 VQQ3MS ,
12 Then they took H3947 W-VQY3MP all H3605 NMS the men H376 D-NMP , and went H1980 W-VQY3MP to fight H3898 with H5973 PREP Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418 , and found H4672 him by H413 PREP the great H7227 AMP waters H4325 OMD that H834 RPRO are in Gibeon H1391 .
13 Now it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that when all H3605 NMS the people H5971 which H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP Ishmael H3458 saw H7200 K-VQFC Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah H7143 , and all H3605 NMS the captains H8269 CMP of the forces H2428 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him , then they were glad H8055 .
14 So all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO Ishmael H3458 had carried away captive H7617 from H4480 PREP Mizpah H4709 cast about H5437 and returned H7725 W-VUY3MP , and went H1980 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah H7143 .
15 But Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418 escaped H4422 from M-CMP Johanan H3110 with eight H8083 men H376 NMP , and went H1980 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the Ammonites H1121 .
16 Then took H3947 W-VQY3MS Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah H7143 , and all H3605 NMS the captains H8269 CMP of the forces H2428 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him , all H3605 NMS the remnant H7611 of the people H5971 whom H834 RPRO he had recovered H7725 VHQ3MS from PREP-3MS Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418 , from H4480 PREP Mizpah H4709 , after H310 ADV that he had slain H5221 Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296 , even mighty H1397 men H376 CMP of war H4421 , and the women H802 , and the children H2945 , and the eunuchs H5631 , whom H834 RPRO he had brought again H7725 VHQ3MS from Gibeon H1391 :
17 And they departed H1980 W-VQY3MP , and dwelt H3427 in the habitation H1628 of Chimham H3643 , which H834 RPRO is by H681 Bethlehem H1035 , to go H1980 L-VQFC to enter into H935 L-VQFC Egypt H4714 ,
18 Because H6440 M-CMP of the Chaldeans H3778 : for H3588 CONJ they were afraid H3372 of M-CMP-3MP them , because H3588 CONJ Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418 had slain H5221 Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296 , whom H834 RPRO the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS made governor H6485 in the land H776 B-GFS .
