So|strong="H7971" the|strong="H3605" captain|strong="H7227" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" guard|strong="H2876" gave|strong="H5414" him|strong="H5414" victuals and|strong="H1121" a|strong="H3068" present|strong="H5414", and|strong="H1121" let|strong="H7971" him|strong="H5414" go|strong="H3212".
6 Then|strong="H1121" went|strong="H5971" Jeremiah|strong="H3414" unto|strong="H3414" Gedaliah|strong="H1436" the|strong="H8432" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Ahikam to|strong="H1121" Mizpah|strong="H4708", and|strong="H1121" dwelt|strong="H3427" with|strong="H3427" him|strong="H7604" among|strong="H8432" the|strong="H8432" people|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" were|strong="H5971" left|strong="H7604" in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H8432" land.

8 then|strong="H1121" they|strong="H1992" came to|strong="H1121" Gedaliah|strong="H1436" to|strong="H1121" Mizpah|strong="H4708", to wit, Ishmael|strong="H3458" the|strong="H3458" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Nethaniah|strong="H5418", and|strong="H1121" Johanan|strong="H3110" and|strong="H1121" Jonathan|strong="H3129" the|strong="H3458" sons|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Kareah|strong="H7143", and|strong="H1121" Seraiah|strong="H8304" the|strong="H3458" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Tanhumeth|strong="H8576", and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3458" sons|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Ephai|strong="H5778" the|strong="H3458" Netophathite|strong="H5200", and|strong="H1121" Jezaniah|strong="H3153" the|strong="H3458" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3458" Maacathite|strong="H4602", they|strong="H1992" and|strong="H1121" their|strong="H1992" men|strong="H1121".
9 And|strong="H1121" Gedaliah|strong="H1436" the|strong="H5647" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Ahikam the|strong="H5647" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Shaphan|strong="H8227" sware|strong="H7650" unto|strong="H7650" them|strong="H3190" and|strong="H1121" to|strong="H1121" their|strong="H5647" men|strong="H1121", saying, Fear|strong="H3372" not|strong="H3372" to|strong="H1121" serve|strong="H5647" the|strong="H5647" Chaldeans|strong="H3778": dwell|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H5647" land, and|strong="H1121" serve|strong="H5647" the|strong="H5647" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H1121" Babylon, and|strong="H1121" it|strong="H3190" shall|strong="H1121" be|strong="H1121" well|strong="H3190" with|strong="H3427" you|strong="H5647".

11 Likewise|strong="H1571" when|strong="H3588" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" Jews|strong="H3064" that|strong="H3588" were|strong="H1121" in|strong="H5921" Moab|strong="H4124", and|strong="H1121" among|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Ammon|strong="H5983", and|strong="H1121" in|strong="H5921" Edom, and|strong="H1121" that|strong="H3588" were|strong="H1121" in|strong="H5921" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" countries, heard|strong="H8085" that|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H1121" Babylon had|strong="H4428" left|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3068" remnant|strong="H7611" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063", and|strong="H1121" that|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" had|strong="H4428" set|strong="H5414" over|strong="H5921" them|strong="H5414" Gedaliah|strong="H1436" the|strong="H3605" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Ahikam, the|strong="H3605" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Shaphan|strong="H8227";
12 then|strong="H7725" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" Jews|strong="H3064" returned|strong="H7725" out|strong="H5080" of|strong="H4725" all|strong="H3605" places|strong="H4725" whither|strong="H8033" they|strong="H8033" were|strong="H3063" driven|strong="H5080", and|strong="H3063" came|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" the|strong="H3605" land|strong="H4725" of|strong="H4725" Judah|strong="H3063", to|strong="H7725" Gedaliah|strong="H1436", unto|strong="H7725" Mizpah|strong="H4708", and|strong="H3063" gathered|strong="H7235" wine|strong="H3196" and|strong="H3063" summer|strong="H7019" fruits|strong="H7019" very|strong="H3966" much|strong="H7235".
13 Moreover Johanan|strong="H3110" the|strong="H3605" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Kareah|strong="H7143", and|strong="H1121" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" captains|strong="H8269" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" forces|strong="H2428" that|strong="H3605" were|strong="H1121" in|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" fields|strong="H7704", came to|strong="H1121" Gedaliah|strong="H1436" to|strong="H1121" Mizpah|strong="H4708",
