16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah and (A)all the leaders of the forces with him took from Mizpah all the rest of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—soldiers, (B)women, children, and eunuchs, whom Johanan brought back from (C)Gibeon. 17 And they went and stayed at Geruth (D)Chimham near (E)Bethlehem, intending to go to Egypt 18 because of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, (F)whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
