Jeremiah 41:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ eighty men arrived from Shechem and Shiloh and Samaria, with their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and their bodies gashed, bringing grain offerings and incense to present at the temple of the Lord. ⁶ And Ishmael son of Nethaniah came out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he came. As he met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam.” ⁷ When they reached the middle of the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them, and threw them^[a] into a cistern.
