📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Jeremiah 41 records that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah, of royal seed, came with ten men to eat bread with Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah, and there he rose and struck Gedaliah with the sword, killing the governor whom the king of Babylon had set over the land, along with the Jews and Chaldeans who were with him. The next day eighty men from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria came with offerings, and Ishmael slaughtered all but ten who bargained for their lives by revealing a hidden store of provisions. Johanan son of Kareah and the captains then pursued and rescued the people Ishmael had carried away, but Ishmael escaped with eight men to the Ammonites, and the rescued remnant, fearing the Chaldeans, withdrew to dwell near Bethlehem intending to flee into Egypt.
