Jeremías 41
Biblia del Jubileo
41 Y aconteció en el mes séptimo, que vino Ismael, hijo de Netanías, hijo de Elisama, de la simiente real, y algunos príncipes del rey, y diez hombres con él, a Gedalías hijo de Ahicam en Mizpa; y comieron pan juntos allí en Mizpa.
2 Y se levantó Ismael, hijo de Netanías, y los diez hombres que con él estaban, e hirieron a espada a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam, hijo de Safán, matando así a aquel a quien el rey de Babilonia había puesto sobre la tierra.
3 Asimismo hirió Ismael a todos los judíos que estaban con él, con Gedalías en Mizpa, y a los soldados caldeos que allí se hallaron.
4 Sucedió además, un día después que mató a Gedalías, cuando nadie lo sabía aún,
5 que venían unos hombres de Siquem, de Silo y de Samaria, ochenta hombres, raída la barba, rotas las ropas, y arañados y traían en sus manos ofrenda y perfume para llevar a la Casa del SEÑOR.
6 Y de Mizpa les salió al encuentro, llorando, Ismael, hijo de Netanías; y aconteció que como los encontró, les dijo: Venid a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam.
7 Y fue que cuando llegaron al medio de la ciudad, Ismael, hijo de Netanías, los degolló, y los echó en medio de un aljibe, él y los varones que estaban con él.
8 Mas entre aquellos fueron hallados diez hombres que dijeron a Ismael: No nos mates; porque tenemos en el campo tesoros de trigo, cebada, aceite, y miel. Y los dejó, y no los mató entre sus hermanos.
9 Y el aljibe en que echó Ismael todos los cuerpos de los varones que hirió por causa de Gedalías, era el mismo que había hecho el rey Asa por causa de Baasa, rey de Israel; lo llenó de muertos Ismael, hijo de Netanías.
10 Después llevó Ismael cautivo a todo el resto del pueblo que estaba en Mizpa; a las hijas del rey, y a todo el pueblo que en Mizpa había quedado, el cual había encargado Nabuzaradán capitán de la guardia a Gedalías hijo de Ahicam. Los llevó, pues, cautivos Ismael hijo de Netanías, y se fue para pasarse a los hijos de Amón.
11 Y oyó Johanán, hijo de Carea, y todos los príncipes de los ejércitos que estaban con él, todo el mal que hizo Ismael, hijo de Netanías.
12 Entonces tomaron todos los varones, y fueron a pelear con Ismael hijo de Netanías, y lo hallaron junto a Aguas-muchas, que es en Gabaón.
13 Y aconteció que cuando todo el pueblo que estaba con Ismael oyó a Johanán, hijo de Carea, y a todos los príncipes de los ejércitos que venían con él, se alegraron.
14 Y todo el pueblo que Ismael había traído cautivo de Mizpa, tornaron, y volvieron, y se fueron a Johanán, hijo de Carea.
15 Pero Ismael hijo de Netanías se escapó delante de Johanán con ocho hombres, y se fue a los hijos de Amón.
16 Y Johanán, hijo de Carea, y todos los príncipes de los ejércitos que con él estaban, tomaron a todo el resto del pueblo que habían tornado de Ismael, hijo de Netanías, de Mizpa, después que hirió a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam; hombres de guerra, mujeres, niños, y los eunucos que Johanán había hecho tornar de Gabaón;
17 y fueron y habitaron en Gerut-quimam, que es cerca de Belén, a fin de ir y meterse en Egipto,
18 por causa de los caldeos; porque temían de ellos, por haber herido Ismael, hijo de Netanías, a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam, al cual el rey de Babilonia había puesto sobre la tierra.

Gedaliah Is Murdered
41 (A)Now in the seventh month (B)Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal [a]family and one of the chief officers of the king, along with ten men, came to Mizpah to (C)Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. While they (D)were eating bread together there in Mizpah, 2 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him rose up, and (E)struck and killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword and (F)put to death the one (G)whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land. 3 Ishmael also struck and killed all the Jews who were with him, that is with Gedaliah in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.
4 Now it happened on the [b]next day after the killing of Gedaliah, when no one knew about it, 5 that eighty men (H)came from (I)Shechem, from (J)Shiloh, and from (K)Samaria with (L)their beards shaved off, their clothes torn, and [c]their bodies (M)gashed, having grain offerings and incense in their hands to bring to the (N)house of the Lord. 6 Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah left Mizpah to meet them, (O)weeping as he went; and as he met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!” 7 Yet it turned out that as soon as they came inside the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men who were with him (P)slaughtered them and threw them into the cistern. 8 But ten men who were found among them said to Ishmael, “Do not put us to death, for we have (Q)supplies of wheat, barley, oil, and honey hidden in the field.” So he refrained and did not put them to death along with their companions.
9 Now as for the cistern where Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men whom he had struck and killed [d]because of Gedaliah, it was the (R)one that King Asa had constructed on (S)account of Baasha, king of Israel; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the dead. 10 Then Ishmael took captive all the (T)remnant of the people who were in Mizpah, the (U)king’s daughters and all the people who were left in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard had put in the custody of Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah took them captive and proceeded to cross over to the sons of (V)Ammon.
Johanan Rescues the People
11 But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the (W)commanders of the forces that were with him heard about all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done. 12 So they took all the men and went to (X)fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and they found him by the (Y)large [e]pool that is in Gibeon. 13 Now as soon as all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were with him, they were joyful. 14 So all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah. 15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah (Z)escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the sons of Ammon. 16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were with him took from Mizpah (AA)all the remnant of the people whom he had [f]recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck and killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, that is, the men who were [g]soldiers, the women, the [h]children, and the high officials, whom he had brought back from Gibeon. 17 And they went and stayed in [i](AB)Geruth Chimham, which is beside Bethlehem, in order to (AC)proceed into Egypt 18 because of the Chaldeans; for they were (AD)afraid of them, since Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had struck and killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom (AE)the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.

Insurrection Against Gedaliah
41 Now it came to pass in the seventh month (A)that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal [a]family and of the officers of the king, came with ten men to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, at (B)Mizpah. And there they ate bread together in Mizpah. 2 Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, arose and (C)struck Gedaliah the son of (D)Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and killed him whom the king of Babylon had made (E)governor 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 (F)with their beards shaved and their clothes torn, having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to (G)the 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!” 7 So it was, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah (H)killed them and cast them into the midst of a [b]pit, he and the men who were with him. 8 But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for we have treasures of wheat, barley, oil, and honey in the field.” So he desisted and did not kill them among their brethren. 9 Now the [c]pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain, because of Gedaliah, was (I)the same one Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain. 10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the (J)rest of the people who were in Mizpah, (K)the king’s daughters and all the people who remained in Mizpah, (L)whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive and departed to go over to (M)the Ammonites.
11 But when (N)Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces that were with him heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done, 12 they took all the men and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah; and they found him by (O)the great pool that is in Gibeon. 13 So it was, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, that they were glad. 14 Then all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah. 15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men and went to the Ammonites.
16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, took from Mizpah all the (P)rest of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah after he had murdered Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the mighty men of war and the women and the children and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon. 17 And they departed and dwelt in the habitation of (Q)Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, as they went on their way to (R)Egypt, 18 because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had murdered Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, (S)whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land.
