2 Kings 25:24-26

21st Century King James Version

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

²⁵ But it came to pass in the seventh month that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.

²⁶ And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
