22 Nebuchadnezzar (may Nebo protect the crown) king of Babylon (confusion by mixing) appointed Gedaliah (YHWH is great) son of Ahikam (my brother has arisen), the son of Shaphan, over the people he had left behind in the land of Judah (praised). 23 When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon (confusion by mixing) had appointed Gedaliah as governor (YHWH is great), they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah (watchtower)—Ishmael (God hears) son of Nethaniah (given of YHWH), Johanan (YHWH has graced) son of Kareah (bald), Seraiah (YHWH is ruler) son of Tanhumeth (consolation) the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah (Jezaniah) son of the Maacathite (she has pressed), as well as their men. 2 Kings 25:22-23, Berean Annotated Bible.
