2 Kings 25:24-26

New American Standard Bible

²⁴ And Gedaliah swore to them and their men and said to them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans; live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well for you.”

^25 (A)But it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal ^[a]family, came ^[b]with ten men and struck Gedaliah down so that he died along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah. ^26 (B)Then all the people, from the small to the great, and the captains of the forces set out and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
