Jeremiah 41:9-14 God's Word Translation (GW)

9. Now, the cistern where Ishmael threw all the bodies of the men he had killed was the same one that King Asa made as a part of his defense against King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, filled it with the bodies.

10. Then Ishmael took captive the rest of the people who were at Mizpah. He captured the king’s daughters and all the other people who had been left at Mizpah. They were the people whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had put under the control of Gedaliah, son of Ahikam. Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, took them captive and left for Ammon.

11. When Kareah’s son Johanan and all the army commanders who were with him heard about all the crimes Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, had done,

12. they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael. They caught up with him at the large pool in Gibeon.

13. When all the people who were with Ishmael saw Kareah’s son Johanan and all the army commanders who were with him, they were glad.

14. Then all the people Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and ran to Kareah’s son Johanan.
