Ishmael Murders Gedaliah and Carries Off the Judeans at Mizpah as Captives Johanan and all the officers of the troops that had been hiding in the open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah.
They said to him,“Are you at all aware that King Baalis of Ammon has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to kill you?” But Gedaliah son of Ahikam would not believe them.
Then Johanan son of Kareah spoke privately to Gedaliah there at Mizpah,“Let me go and kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah before anyone knows about it. Otherwise he will kill you and all the Judeans who have rallied around you will be scattered. Then what remains of Judah will disappear.”
