Jeremiah 41:11-15

International Standard Version

The Captives Rescued; Ishmael Escapes

¹¹ Kareah’s son Jonathan and all the military leaders who were with him heard about all the terrible things that Nethaniah’s son Ishmael had done. ¹² So they took all the men and went to fight Nethaniah’s son Ishmael, and they found him at the large pool that is at Gibeon. ¹³ When all the people who were with Ishmael saw Kareah’s son Jonathan and all the military leaders who were with him, they were glad. ¹⁴ All the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and went back to Kareah’s son Jonathan. ¹⁵ But Nethaniah’s son Ishmael and eight other^[a] men escaped from Jonathan and went to the Ammonites.
