Jeremiah 41:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ But Ishmael and eight of his men escaped from Johanan. They went to live among the Ammonite people.

¹⁶ Johanan and the army officers who were with him led the people away from Gibeon. Those were the people who were still alive in Mizpah after Ishmael had murdered Gedaliah. Now Johanan and his men had rescued them from Ishmael. Johanan brought those men, women, children, soldiers and palace officers away from Gibeon.

¹⁷ They started on the way towards Egypt. They stopped at Geruth Kimham, a town that is near Bethlehem.
