Jeremiah 41:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ Then Johanan son of Kareah and the army officers with him took all the survivors from Mizpah, whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam—the soldiers, the women, the children, and the court officials that Johanan had brought back from Gibeon. ¹⁷ They left there and stayed at Geruth Kimham near Bethlehem. They were on the way to Egypt ¹⁸ because they were afraid of the Chaldeans, since Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed as governor over the land.
