2 Kings 25:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

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.”

²⁵ But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king’s seed, came, and ten men with him. And he struck Gedaliah and he died, and so did he the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.

²⁶ Then all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the army, arose and came to Egypt. For they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
