1 In the seventh month, Ishmael (God hears) son of Nethaniah (given of YHWH), the son of Elishama (my God has heard), who was a member of the royal family and one of the king’s chief officers, came with ten men to Gedaliah (YHWH is great) son of Ahikam (my brother has arisen) at Mizpah (watchtower), and they ate a meal together there. 2 Then Ishmael (God hears) son of Nethaniah (given of YHWH) and the ten men who were with him got up and struck down Gedaliah (YHWH is great) son of Ahikam (my brother has arisen), the son of Shaphan, with the sword, killing the one whom the king of Babylon (confusion by mixing) had appointed to govern the land.
