2 Kings 25:22-24

Revised Geneva Translation

²² However, people remained in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, left alone. And he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.

²³ Then, when all the captains of the army and their men heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah, to Mizpah. They were: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah and Johanan, the son of Careah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of Maachathi, they and their men.

²⁴ And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said to them, “Do not fear to be the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and you shall be well.”
