When the Judeans in Moab, Ammon, Edom, and the other nearby countries heard that the king of Babylon had left a few people in Judah and that Gedaliah was the governor,they began to return to Judah from the places to which they had fled. They stopped at Mizpah to meet with Gedaliah and then went into the Judean countryside to gather a great harvest of grapes and other crops.Soon after this, Johanan son of Kareah and the other military leaders came to Gedaliah at Mizpah.They said to him,“ Did you know that Baalis, king of Ammon, has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to assassinate you?” But Gedaliah refused to believe them.Later Johanan had a private conference with Gedaliah and volunteered to kill Ishmael secretly.“ Why should we let him come and murder you?” Johanan asked.“ What will happen then to the Judeans who have returned? Why should the few of us who are still left be scattered and lost?”But Gedaliah said to Johanan,“ I forbid you to do any such thing, for you are lying about Ishmael.”But in midautumn of that year, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and grandson of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family and had been one of the king’s high officials, went to Mizpah with ten men to meet Gedaliah. While they were eating together,Ishmael and his ten men suddenly jumped up, drew their swords, and killed Gedaliah, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor.Ishmael also killed all the Judeans and the Babylonian soldiers who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah.The next day, before anyone had heard about Gedaliah’s murder,eighty men arrived from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria to worship at the Temple of the Lord. They had shaved off their beards, torn their clothes, and cut themselves, and had brought along grain offerings and frankincense.Ishmael left Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went. When he reached them, he said,“ Oh, come and see what has happened to Gedaliah!”But as soon as they were all inside the town, Ishmael and his men killed all but ten of them and threw their bodies into a cistern.The other ten had talked Ishmael into letting them go by promising to bring him their stores of wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey that they had hidden away.The cistern where Ishmael dumped the bodies of the men he murdered was the large one dug by King Asa when he fortified Mizpah to protect himself against King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with corpses.Then Ishmael made captives of the king’s daughters and the other people who had been left under Gedaliah’s care in Mizpah by Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard. Taking them with him, he started back toward the land of Ammon.But when Johanan son of Kareah and the other military leaders heard about Ishmael’s crimes,they took all their men and set out to stop him. They caught up with him at the large pool near Gibeon.The people Ishmael had captured shouted for joy when they saw Johanan and the other military leaders.And all the captives from Mizpah escaped and began to help Johanan.Meanwhile, Ishmael and eight of his men escaped from Johanan into the land of Ammon.Then Johanan son of Kareah and the other military leaders took all the people they had rescued in Gibeon— the soldiers, women, children, and court officials whom Ishmael had captured after he killed Gedaliah.
