Jeremiah 40:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible
6 So Jeremiah went to live with Gedaliah in Mizpah. He stayed among the few people who continued to live in Judah.
Gedaliah rules Judah
7 Some officers of Judah's army were living in fields in the country, with their soldiers.[a] They heard news that the king of Babylon had chosen Ahikam's son Gedaliah to have authority over Judah. He ruled over the very poor people of Judah who continued to live there. They were the men, women and children that Babylon's soldiers had not taken away as prisoners. 8 These army officers and their soldiers came to meet with Gedaliah at Mizpah. The officers were:
Nethaniah's son Ishmael,
Kareah's sons, Johanan and Jonathan,
Tanhumeth's son, Seraiah,
the sons of Ephai, who came from Netophah,
and Jaazaniah, whose father came from Maakah.
