24:040:015 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah
           secretly saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay
           Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: 
           wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are
           gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in
           Judah perish?

24:040:016 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of
           Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing:  for thou speakest
           falsely of Ishmael.

24:041:001 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son
           of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the
           princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah
           the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread
           together in Mizpah.

24:041:002 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that
           were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of
           Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon
           had made governor over the land.

24:041:003 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with
           Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there,
           and the men of war.

24:041:004 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain
           Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

24:041:005 That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from
           Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and
           their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings
           and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the
           lord.

24:041:006 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to
           meet them, weeping all along as he went:  and it came to pass,
           as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of
           Ahikam.

24:041:007 And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that
           Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the
           midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.

24:041:008 But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay
           us not:  for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of
           barley, and of oil, and of honey.  So he forbare, and slew them
           not among their brethren.

24:041:009 Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of
           the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which
           Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel:  and
           Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were
           slain.
