King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Now it came to pass[H1961] in the seventh[H7637] month,[H2320] that Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah[H5418] the son[H1121] of Elishama,[H476] of the seed[H4480] [H2233] royal,[H4410] and the princes[H7227] of the king,[H4428] even ten[H6235] men[H376] with[H854] him, came[H935] unto[H413] Gedaliah[H1436] the son[H1121] of Ahikam[H296] to Mizpah;[H4708] and there[H8033] they did eat[H398] bread[H3899] together[H3162] in Mizpah.[H4709]

2. Then arose[H6965] Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah,[H5418] and the ten[H6235] men[H376] that[H834] were[H1961] with[H854] him, and smote[H5221] [H853] Gedaliah[H1436] the son[H1121] of Ahikam[H296] the son[H1121] of Shaphan[H8227] with the sword,[H2719] and slew[H4191] him, whom[H834] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] had made governor[H6485] over the land.[H776]

3. Ishmael[H3458] also slew[H5221] all[H3605] the Jews[H3064] that[H834] were[H1961] with[H854] him, even with[H854] Gedaliah,[H1436] at Mizpah,[H4709] and the Chaldeans[H3778] that[H834] were found[H4672] there,[H8033] and the men[H376] of war.[H4421]

4. And it came to pass[H1961] the second[H8145] day[H3117] after he had slain[H4191] [H853] Gedaliah,[H1436] and no[H3808] man[H376] knew[H3045] it,

5. That there came[H935] certain[H376] from Shechem,[H4480] [H7927] from Shiloh,[H4480] [H7887] and from Samaria,[H4480] [H8111] even fourscore[H8084] men,[H376] having their beards[H2206] shaven,[H1548] and their clothes[H899] rent,[H7167] and having cut themselves,[H1413] with offerings[H4503] and incense[H3828] in their hand,[H3027] to bring[H935] them to the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

6. And Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah[H5418] went forth[H3318] from[H4480] Mizpah[H4709] to meet[H7125] them, weeping[H1058] all along as he went:[H1980] [H1980] and it came to pass,[H1961] as he met[H6298] them, he said[H559] unto[H413] them, Come[H935] to[H413] Gedaliah[H1436] the son[H1121] of Ahikam.[H296]

7. And it was[H1961] so, when they came[H935] into[H413] the midst[H8432] of the city,[H5892] that Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah[H5418] slew[H7819] them, and cast them into[H413] the midst[H8432] of the pit,[H953] he,[H1931] and the men[H376] that[H834] were with[H854] him.

8. But ten[H6235] men[H376] were found[H4672] among them that said[H559] unto[H413] Ishmael,[H3458] Slay[H4191] us not:[H408] for[H3588] we have[H3426] treasures[H4301] in the field,[H7704] of wheat,[H2406] and of barley,[H8184] and of oil,[H8081] and of honey.[H1706] So he forbear,[H2308] and slew[H4191] them not[H3808] among[H8432] their brethren.[H251]

9. Now the pit[H953] wherein[H834] [H8033] Ishmael[H3458] had cast[H7993] [H853] all[H3605] the dead bodies[H6297] of the men,[H376] whom[H834] he had slain[H5221] because[H3027] of Gedaliah,[H1436] was it[H1931] which[H834] Asa[H609] the king[H4428] had made[H6213] for fear[H4480] [H6440] of Baasha[H1201] king[H4428] of Israel:[H3478] and Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah[H5418] filled[H4390] it with them that were slain.[H2491]

10. Then Ishmael[H3458] carried away captive[H7617] [H853] all[H3605] the residue[H7611] of the people[H5971] that[H834] were in Mizpah,[H4709] even[H853] the king's[H4428] daughters,[H1323] and all[H3605] the people[H5971] that remained[H7604] in Mizpah,[H4709] whom[H834] Nebuzaradan[H5018] the captain[H7227] of the guard[H2876] had committed[H6485] to[H853] Gedaliah[H1436] the son[H1121] of Ahikam:[H296] and Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah[H5418] carried them away captive,[H7617] and departed[H1980] to go over[H5674] to[H413] the Ammonites.[H1121] [H5983]

11. But when Johanan[H3110] the son[H1121] of Kareah,[H7143] and all[H3605] the captains[H8269] of the forces[H2428] that[H834] were with[H854] him, heard[H8085] of[H853] all[H3605] the evil[H7451] that[H834] Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah[H5418] had done,[H6213]

12. Then they took[H3947] [H853] all[H3605] the men,[H376] and went[H1980] to fight[H3898] with[H5973] Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah,[H5418] and found[H4672] him by[H413] the great[H7227] waters[H4325] that[H834] are in Gibeon.[H1391]

13. Now it came to pass,[H1961] that when all[H3605] the people[H5971] which[H834] were with[H854] Ishmael[H3458] saw[H7200] [H853] Johanan[H3110] the son[H1121] of Kareah,[H7143] and all[H3605] the captains[H8269] of the forces[H2428] that[H834] were with[H854] him, then they were glad.[H8055]

14. So all[H3605] the people[H5971] that[H834] Ishmael[H3458] had carried away captive[H7617] from[H4480] Mizpah[H4709] cast about[H5437] and returned,[H7725] and went[H1980] unto[H413] Johanan[H3110] the son[H1121] of Kareah.[H7143]

15. But Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah[H5418] escaped[H4422] from[H4480] [H6440] Johanan[H3110] with eight[H8083] men,[H376] and went[H1980] to[H413] the Ammonites.[H1121] [H5983]

16. Then took[H3947] Johanan[H3110] the son[H1121] of Kareah,[H7143] and all[H3605] the captains[H8269] of the forces[H2428] that[H834] were with[H854] him,[H853] all[H3605] the remnant[H7611] of the people[H5971] whom[H834] he had recovered[H7725] from[H4480] [H854] Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah,[H5418] from[H4480] Mizpah,[H4709] after[H310] that he had slain[H5221] [H853] Gedaliah[H1436] the son[H1121] of Ahikam,[H296] even mighty[H1397] men[H376] of war,[H4421] and the women,[H802] and the children,[H2945] and the eunuchs,[H5631] whom[H834] he had brought again[H7725] from Gibeon:[H4480] [H1391]

17. And they departed,[H1980] and dwelt[H3427] in the habitation[H1628] of Chimham,[H3643] which[H834] is by[H681] Bethlehem,[H1035] to go[H1980] to enter into[H935] Egypt,[H4714]

18. Because[H4480] [H6440] of the Chaldeans:[H3778] for[H3588] they were afraid[H3372] of[H4480] [H6440] them, because[H3588] Ishmael[H3458] the son[H1121] of Nethaniah[H5418] had slain[H5221] [H853] Gedaliah[H1436] the son[H1121] of Ahikam,[H296] whom[H834] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] made governor[H6485] in the land.[H776]
