Jeremiah 41:17 in context

  1. 15But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
  2. 16Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, to wit, the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
  3. 17And they departed, and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
  4. 18because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
