Jeremiah 41:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ When they reached the middle of the city, Nethaniah’s son Ishmael and the men who were with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.^[a]

⁸ Ten men who were among^[b] them told Ishmael, “Don’t kill us, because we have stores of wheat, barley, oil, and honey hidden in the field.” So Ishmael stopped and did not kill them or their companions. ⁹ Ishmael threw the bodies of the men he killed on account of Gedaliah into the cistern that King Asa had made for protection against^[c] King Baasha of Israel. That is the same one Nethaniah’s son Ishmael filled with those he killed.
