The prophet Jeremiah and Baruch were also included. 7 The people refused to obey the voice of the Lord and went to Egypt, going as far as the city of Tahpanhes.

4 So Kareah’s son Johanan, all the military leaders, and all the people did not obey the instructions given by[a] the Lord to remain in the land of Judah. 5 Kareah’s son Johanan and all the military leaders took the entire remnant of Judah that had returned from all the nations where they had been scattered to settle in the land of Judah— 6 the young men, the women, the children, the daughters of the king, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Ahikam’s son Gedaliah, the grandson of Shaphan, along with Jeremiah the prophet and Neriah’s son Baruch. 7 So they went into the land of Egypt, because they did not obey the Lord, and they travelled as far as Tahpanhes.[b]
