Jeremiah 40:5-7

New King James Version

⁵ Now while Jeremiah had not yet gone back, Nebuzaradan said, “Go back to ^(A)Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ^(B)whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people. Or go wherever it seems convenient for you to go.” So the captain of the guard gave him rations and a gift and let him go. ^6 (C)Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, to ^(D)Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people who were left in the land.

^7 (E)And when all the captains of the armies who were in the fields, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, women, children, and ^(F)the poorest of the land who had not been carried away captive to Babylon,
