Jeremiah 41:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

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 Lord. ⁶ And Ishmael son of Nethaniah came out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he came. As he met them, he said to them, ‘Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam.’ ⁷ When they reached the middle of the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them, and threw them^[a] into a cistern.
