Jeremiah 41:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ But after they were inside the town, Ishmael ordered his soldiers to kill them and throw their bodies into a well. ⁸ He let ten of the men live, because they offered to give him supplies of wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey they had hidden in a field. ⁹ The well that he filled with bodies^[a] had been dug by King Asa^[b] of Judah to store rainwater, because he was afraid that King Baasha^[c] of Israel might surround Mizpah and keep the people from getting to their water supply.
