of Ahikam; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive,
and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.
041:011 But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains
of the forces who were with him, heard of all the evil
that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
041:012 then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael
the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters
that are in Gibeon.
041:013 Now it happened that, when all the people who were with Ishmael
saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces
who were with him, then they were glad.
041:014 So all the people who Ishmael had carried away captive
from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan
the son of Kareah.
041:015 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with
eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
041:016 Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains
of the forces who were with him, all the remnant of the people
whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah,
from Mizpah, after that he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam,
[to wit], the men of war, and the women, and the children,
and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon:
041:017 and they departed, and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is
by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
041:018 because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them,
because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah
the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor
over the land.
042:001 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah,
and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from
the least even to the greatest, came near,
042:002 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we pray you, our supplication
be presented before you, and pray for us to Yahweh your God,
even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many,
as your eyes do see us:
042:003 that Yahweh your God may show us the way in which we should walk,
and the thing that we should do.
042:004 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard you;
behold, I will pray to Yahweh your God according to your words;
and it shall happen that whatever thing Yahweh shall answer you,
I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back from you.
042:005 Then they said to Jeremiah, Yahweh be a true and faithful
witness among us, if we don't do according to all the word
with which Yahweh your God shall send you to us.
042:006 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice
of Yahweh our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well
with us, when we obey the voice of Yahweh our God.
042:007 It happened after ten days, that the word of Yahweh
came to Jeremiah.
