2 Kings 25:24

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.

24 And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, and said to them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”

25 But ^ait happened in the seventh month that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family, came with ten men and struck and killed Gedaliah, the Jews, as well as the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.

26 And all the people, small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose ^aand went to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
