WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.820 Chapter 41 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of 00:05.820 --> 00:09.680 Nethaniah the son of Elishamah, of the seed royal, and the princes of the 00:09.680 --> 00:14.560 king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Vahikim, to Mizpah, 00:14.900 --> 00:17.060 and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah. 00:17.880 --> 00:22.140 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, 00:22.500 --> 00:26.200 and smote Gedaliah the son of Vahikim, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, 00:26.680 --> 00:30.260 and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land. 00:31.320 --> 00:35.080 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah at Mizpah, 00:35.280 --> 00:37.800 and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war. 00:38.400 --> 00:42.920 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it, 00:43.660 --> 00:46.560 that there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, 00:47.060 --> 00:50.500 even four score men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, 00:50.960 --> 00:54.940 and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them 00:54.940 --> 00:56.000 to the house of the Lord. 00:57.040 --> 00:59.840 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, 01:00.340 --> 01:01.560 weeping all along as he went. 01:01.560 --> 01:06.520 And it came to pass as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the 01:06.520 --> 01:07.300 son of Ahicham. 01:08.080 --> 01:12.140 And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of 01:12.140 --> 01:16.520 Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he and the men that 01:16.520 --> 01:16.960 were with him. 01:17.980 --> 01:21.960 But ten men were found among them, that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not, 01:22.460 --> 01:25.500 for we have treasures in the field of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, 01:25.680 --> 01:26.180 and of honey. 01:26.920 --> 01:29.640 So he forbear, and slew them not among their brethren. 01:30.460 --> 01:34.360 Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had 01:34.360 --> 01:38.720 slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Aser the king had made for fear of Baasha 01:38.720 --> 01:39.680 king of Israel. 01:40.380 --> 01:43.120 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain. 01:43.920 --> 01:47.640 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, 01:48.160 --> 01:51.340 even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, 01:51.340 --> 01:55.080 whom Nebazeradon the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of 01:55.080 --> 01:59.620 Ahicham, and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to 01:59.620 --> 02:00.700 go over to the Ammonites. 02:01.980 --> 02:05.220 But when Johanan the son of Korea, and all the captains of the forces that 02:05.220 --> 02:08.900 were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done, 02:09.620 --> 02:13.440 then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, 02:13.720 --> 02:16.140 and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon. 02:16.720 --> 02:20.960 Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan 02:20.960 --> 02:24.100 the son of Korea, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, 02:24.720 --> 02:25.500 then they were glad. 02:26.080 --> 02:29.720 So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah, cast about, 02:29.860 --> 02:32.540 and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Korea. 02:33.440 --> 02:37.460 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to 02:37.460 --> 02:41.760 the Ammonites, then took Johanan the son of Korea, and all the captains of the 02:41.760 --> 02:45.280 forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from 02:45.280 --> 02:47.540 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah. 02:48.500 --> 02:52.500 After that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahicham, even mighty men of war, 02:52.880 --> 02:55.660 and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again 02:55.660 --> 02:56.200 from Gibeon. 02:57.120 --> 03:00.700 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Kimham, which is by 03:00.700 --> 03:03.100 Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt. 03:03.920 --> 03:07.900 Because of the Chaldeans, for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of 03:07.900 --> 03:11.820 Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahicham, whom the king of Babylon made 03:11.820 --> 03:12.700 governor in the land. 03:12.720 --> 03:12.880 The end.
