Jeremiah 41:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 41:4

2 Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, arose and ^astruck Gedaliah the son of ^bAhikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and killed him whom the king of Babylon had made ^cgovernor over the land.

3 Ishmael also struck down all the Jews who were with him, that is, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.

4 And it happened, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, when as yet no one knew it,

5 that certain men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men ^awith their beards shaved and their clothes torn, having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to ^bthe house of the Lord.

6 Now Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went along; and it happened as he met them that he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!”
