⁴ So Johanan, the army officers, and all the people ·disobeyed the Lord’s command [did not listen to the voice of the Lord] to stay in Judah. ⁵ But Johanan son of Kareah and the army officers ·led away [^Ltook] ·those who were left alive from [the remnant of] Judah. They were the people who had ·run away from the Babylonians [been driven] to other countries but then had ·come back to live in [returned to] Judah. ⁶ They ·led away [^Ltook] the men, women, and children, and the king’s daughters. Nebuzaradan commander of the guard had ·put Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan in charge of those people [^Lleft with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan; ^Cwho had been appointed governor]. Johanan also took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah. ⁷ These people did not listen to the voice of the Lord. So they all went to Egypt to the city of Tahpanhes [^Cin the eastern region of the Nile Delta].
