2 Kings 25:21
The king of Babylon smote them - He had, no doubt, found that these had counselled Zedekiah to revolt.
19 He also took out of the city an officer who had charge of the men of war, afive men of the king’s close associates who were found in the city, the chief recruiting officer of the army, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.
20 So Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, took these and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 Then the king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. aThus Judah was carried away captive from its own land.
Gedaliah Made Governor of Judah
22 Then he made Gedaliah the son of aAhikam, the son of Shaphan, governor over bthe people who remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left.
23 Now when all the acaptains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Careah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
