Jeremiah 41:4-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 41
4
Now it happened on the next day after the killing of Gedaliah, when no one knew
about it,
5
that eighty men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria with their beards shaved off, their clothes torn, and their bodies gashed, having grain offerings and incense in their hands to bring to the house of the
Lord
.
6
Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah left Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went; and as he met them, he said to them, 'Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!'
7
Yet it turned out that as soon as they came inside the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men who were with him slaughtered them
and threw them
into the cistern.
8
But ten men who were found among them said to Ishmael, 'Do not put us to death, for we have supplies of wheat, barley, oil, and honey hidden in the field.' So he refrained and did not put them to death along with their companions.
9
Now as for the cistern where Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men whom he had struck and killed because of Gedaliah, it was the one that King Asa had constructed on account of Baasha, king of Israel; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the dead.
King James Version
Chapter 41
4
And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5
That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the
Lord
.
6
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
7
And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.
8
But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.
9
Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.

Chapter 41
4
On the day after he had killed Gedaliah, when no one knew yet,
5
eighty men came from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria who had shaved their beards, torn their clothes, and gashed themselves, and who were carrying grain and incense offerings to bring to the temple of the
Lord
.
6
Ishmael son of Nethaniah came out of Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he came. When he encountered them, he said, "Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam!"
7
But when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.
8
However, there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, "Don’t kill us, for we have hidden treasure in the field—wheat, barley, oil, and honey!" So he stopped and did not kill them along with their companions.
9
Now the cistern where Ishmael had thrown all the corpses of the men he had struck down was a large one that King Asa had made in the encounter with King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.
New Living Translation
Chapter 41
4
The next day, before anyone had heard about Gedaliah’s murder,
5
eighty men arrived from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria to worship at the Temple of the
Lord
. They had shaved off their beards, torn their clothes, and cut themselves, and had brought along grain offerings and frankincense.
6
Ishmael left Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went. When he reached them, he said, 'Oh, come and see what has happened to Gedaliah!'
7
But as soon as they were all inside the town, Ishmael and his men killed all but ten of them and threw their bodies into a cistern.
8
The other ten had talked Ishmael into letting them go by promising to bring him their stores of wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey that they had hidden away.
9
The cistern where Ishmael dumped the bodies of the men he murdered was the large one dug by King Asa when he fortified Mizpah to protect himself against King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with corpses.

5
eighty men arrived from Shechem and Shiloh and Samaria, with their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and their bodies gashed, bringing grain offerings and incense to present at the temple of the

6
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah came out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he came. As he met them, he said to them, "Come in to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam."
7
When they came into the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and cast them into a cistern.

But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, "Do not put us to death, for we have stores of wheat, barley, oil, and honey hidden in the fields." So he refrained and did not put them to death with their companions.

Now the cistern into which Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men whom he had struck down along with Gedaliah was the large cistern that King Asa had made for defense against Baasha king of Israel; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.

5
eighty men who had shaved off their beards, torn their clothes and cut themselves came from Shechem, Shiloh and Samaria, bringing grain offerings and incense with them to the house of the
Lord
.
6
Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went. When he met them, he said, "Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam."
7
When they went into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men who were with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.
8
But ten of them said to Ishmael, "Don’t kill us! We have wheat and barley, olive oil and honey, hidden in a field." So he let them alone and did not kill them with the others.
9
Now the cistern where he threw all the bodies of the men he had killed along with Gedaliah was the one King Asa had made as part of his defense against Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the dead.
New King James Version
Chapter 41
4
And it happened, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, when as yet no one knew
it,
5
that certain men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men with their beards shaved and their clothes torn, having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring
them
to the house of the
Lord
.
6
Now Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went along; and it happened as he met them that he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!”
7
So it was, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them
and cast them
into the midst of a pit, he and the men who were with him.
8
But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for we have treasures of wheat, barley, oil, and honey in the field.” So he desisted and did not kill them among their brethren.
9
Now the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain, because of Gedaliah,
was
the same one Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with
the
slain.
