14 So all the people that Ish´ma-el had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Jo´hanan the son of Kare´ah.
15 But Ish´ma-el the son of Nethani´ah escaped from Jo´hanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
16 Then took Jo´hanan the son of Kare´ah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ish´ma-el the son of Nethani´ah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedali´ah the son of Ahi´kam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
17 and they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
18 because of the Chalde´ans: for they were afraid of them, because Ish´ma-el the son of Nethani´ah had slain Gedali´ah the son of Ahi´kam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
