41:2 Then arose [H6965] Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] , and the ten [H6235] men [H582] that were with him, and smote [H5221] Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] the son [H1121] of Shaphan [H8227] with the sword [H2719] , and slew [H4191] him, whom the king [H4428] of Babylon [H894] had made governor [H6485] over the land [H776] .
41:3 Ishmael [H3458] also slew [H5221] all the Jews [H3064] that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah [H1436] , at Mizpah [H4709] , and the Chaldeans [H3778] that were found [H4672] there, [and] the men [H582] of war [H4421] .
41:4 And it came to pass the second [H8145] day [H3117] after he had slain [H4191] Gedaliah [H1436] , and no man [H376] knew [H3045] [it],
41:5 That there came [H935] certain [H582] from Shechem [H7927] , from Shiloh [H7887] , and from Samaria [H8111] , [even] fourscore [H8084] men [H376] , having their beards [H2206] shaven [H1548] , and their clothes [H899] rent [H7167] , and having cut [H1413] themselves, with offerings [H4503] and incense [H3828] in their hand [H3027] , to bring [H935] [them] to the house [H1004] of the LORD [H3068] .
41:6 And Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] went forth [H3318] from Mizpah [H4709] to meet [H7125] them, weeping [H1058] all along [H1980] as he went [H1980] : and it came to pass, as he met [H6298] them, he said [H559] unto them, Come [H935] to Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] .(weeping: Heb. in going and weeping)
41:7 And it was [so], when they came [H935] into the midst [H8432] of the city [H5892] , that Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] slew [H7819] them, [and cast them] into the midst [H8432] of the pit [H953] , he, and the men [H582] that [were] with him.
41:8 But ten [H6235] men [H582] were found [H4672] among them that said [H559] unto Ishmael [H3458] , Slay [H4191] us not: for we have [H3426] treasures [H4301] in the field [H7704] , of wheat [H2406] , and of barley [H8184] , and of oil [H8081] , and of honey [H1706] . So he forbare [H2308] , and slew [H4191] them not among [H8432] their brethren [H251] .
41:9 Now the pit [H953] wherein Ishmael [H3458] had cast [H7993] all the dead bodies [H6297] of the men [H582] , whom he had slain [H5221] because [H3027] of Gedaliah [H1436] , [was] it which Asa [H609] the king [H4428] had made [H6213] for fear [H6440] of Baasha [H1201] king [H4428] of Israel [H3478] : [and] Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] filled [H4390] it with [them that were] slain [H2491] .(because: or, near Gedaliah: Heb. by the hand, or, by the side of Gedaliah)
41:10 Then Ishmael [H3458] carried away captive [H7617] all the residue [H7611] of the people [H5971] that [were] in Mizpah [H4709] , [even] the king's [H4428] daughters [H1323] , and all the people [H5971] that remained [H7604] in Mizpah [H4709] , whom Nebuzaradan [H5018] the captain [H7227] 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 [H3212] to go over [H5674] to the Ammonites [H1121] [H5983] .
41:11 But when Johanan [H3110] the son [H1121] of Kareah [H7143] , and all the captains [H8269] of the forces [H2428] that [were] with him, heard [H8085] of all the evil [H7451] that Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] had done [H6213] ,
41:12 Then they took [H3947] all the men [H582] , and went [H3212] to fight [H3898] with Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] , and found [H4672] him by the great [H7227] waters [H4325] that [are] in Gibeon [H1391] .
41:13 Now it came to pass, [that] when all the people [H5971] which [were] with Ishmael [H3458] saw [H7200] Johanan [H3110] the son [H1121] of Kareah [H7143] , and all the captains [H8269] of the forces [H2428] that [were] with him, then they were glad [H8055] .
41:14 So all the people [H5971] that Ishmael [H3458] had carried away captive [H7617] from Mizpah [H4709] cast about [H5437] and returned [H7725] , and went [H3212] unto Johanan [H3110] the son [H1121] of Kareah [H7143] .
41:15 But Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] escaped [H4422] from [H6440] Johanan [H3110] with eight [H8083] men [H582] , and went [H3212] to the Ammonites [H1121] [H5983] .
41:16 Then took [H3947] Johanan [H3110] the son [H1121] of Kareah [H7143] , and all the captains [H8269] of the forces [H2428] that [were] with him, all the remnant [H7611] of the people [H5971] whom he had recovered [H7725] from Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] , from Mizpah [H4709] , after [H310] [that] he had slain [H5221] Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] , [even] mighty [H1397] men [H582] of war [H4421] , and the women [H802] , and the children [H2945] , and the eunuchs [H5631] , whom he had brought again [H7725] from Gibeon [H1391] :
41:17 And they departed [H3212] , and dwelt in [H3427] the habitation [H1628] of Chimham [H3643] , which is by [H681] Bethlehem [H1035] , to go [H3212] to enter [H935] into Egypt [H4714] ,
41:18 Because [H6440] of the Chaldeans [H3778] : for they were afraid [H3372] of them, because Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] had slain [H5221] Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] , whom the king [H4428] of Babylon [H894] made governor [H6485] in the land [H776] .
