7 When they came into the city, Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, and his men slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern. 8 However, ten men from the group had said to Ishmael, |Don't kill us! We have wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey hidden in the country.| So he left them alone and didn't kill them along with the others. 9 Now, the cistern where Ishmael threw all the bodies of the men he had killed was the same one that King Asa made as a part of his defense against King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, filled it with the bodies. Jeremiah 41:7-9, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
