"It happened the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,"
— Jeremiah 41:4, World English Bible
“And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,”
“And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it, ”
“On the day after Gedaliah had been murdered, before anyone even knew about it,”
“And on the second day after he had killed Godolias, no man yet knowing it,”
“Now on the second day after he had put Gedaliah to death, when no one had knowledge of it,”
“And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,”
Now it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal and [one of] the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.
Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with him, [to wit], with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.
It happened the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Yahweh.
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it happened, as he met them, he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
It was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, [and cast them] into the midst of the pit, he, and the men who were with him.
