4 And it came to pass the second day after Gedaliah had been slain, and no man had heard of it, 5 That there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, agitated, having their beards shaven and their clothes torn, carrying offerings and incense to bring them to the house of the LORD. 6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and as he met them, he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. 7 And when they came into the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men who were with him slew them and cast them into a pit. 8 But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, Do not kill us; for we have in the field stores of wheat and of barley and of oil and honey. So he spared their lives, and did not slay them with their brethren. Jeremiah 41:4-8, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
