24:040:005 Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to
           Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king
           of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and
           dwell with him among the people:  or go wheresoever it seemeth
           convenient unto thee to go.  So the captain of the guard gave
           him victuals and a reward, and let him go.

24:040:006 Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah;
           and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the
           land.

24:040:007 Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the
           fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of
           Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the
           land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children,
           and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried
           away captive to Babylon;

24:040:008 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of
           Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and
           Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the
           Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and
           their men.

24:040:009 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto
           them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the
           Chaldeans:  dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon,
           and it shall be well with you.

24:040:010 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the
           Chaldeans, which will come unto us:  but ye, gather ye wine,
           and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and
           dwell in your cities that ye have taken.

24:040:011 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the
           Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries,
           heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah,
           and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the
           son of Shaphan;

24:040:012 Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were
           driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto
           Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.

24:040:013 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of
           the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to
           Mizpah,

24:040:014 And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the
           king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah
           to slay thee?  But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them
           not.
