New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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.”(A) 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.(B) 8 But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for we have stores of wheat, barley, oil, and honey hidden in the fields.” So he refrained and did not kill them along with their companions.
