22 And as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor over them.
23 Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and Johanan the son of Kareah and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
24 And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men and said to them, Do not fear because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon and it will be well with you*.
25 But it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, came and ten men with him and killed* Gedaliah, so that he died and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
