chapter 41
1
And it
came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismahel the son of Nathanias, the son
of Elisama of the royal blood, and the nobles of the king, and ten men with
him, came to Godolias the son of Ahicam into Masphath: and they ate bread there
together in Masphath.
2 And Ismahel the son of Nathanias arose, and the ten
men that were with him, and they struck Godolias the son of Ahicam, the son of
Saphan with the sword, and slew him whom the king of Babylon had made governor
over the land.
3 Ismahel slew also all the Jews that were with
Godolias in Masphath, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the
soldiers.
4 And on the second day after he had killed Godolias,
no man yet knowing it,
5 There came some from Sichem, and from Silo, and from
Samaria, fourscore men, with their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and
mourning: and they had offerings and incense in their hand, to offer in the
house of the Lord.
6 And Ismahel the son of Nathanias went forth from
Masphath to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and when he had met them,
he said to them: Come to Godolias, the son of Ahicam.
7 And when they were come to the midst of the city,
Ismahel the son of Nathanias, slew them, and cast them into the midst of the
pit, he and the men that were with him.
8 But ten men were found among them, that said to
Ismahel : Kill us not: for we have stores in the field, of wheat, and barley,
and oil, and honey. And he forbore, and slew them not with their brethren.
9 And the pit into which Ismahel cast all the dead
bodies of the men whom he slew because of Godolias, is the same that king Asa
made, for fear of Baasa the king of Israel: the same did Ismahel the son of
Nathanias fill with them that were slain.
10 Then Ismahel carried away captive all the remnant of
the people that were in Masphath : the king's daughters, and all the people
that remained in Masphath: whom Nabuzardan the general of the army had
committed to Godolias the son of Ahicam. And Ismahel the son of Nathanias took
them, and he departed, to go over to the children of Ammon.
11 But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains
of the fighting men that were with him, heard of the evil that Ismahel the son
of Nathanias had done.
12 And taking all the men, they went out to fight
against Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and they found him by the great waters
that are in Gabaon.
13 And when all the people that were with Ismahel, had
seen Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that
were with him, they rejoiced.
14 And all the people whom Ismahel had taken, went back
to Masphath: and they returned and went to Johanan the son of Caree.
15 But Ismahel the son of Nathanias fled with eight
men, from the face of Johanan, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Then Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains
of the soldiers that were with him, took all the remnant of the people whom
they had recovered from Ismahel the son of Nathanias, from Masphath, after that
he had slain Godolias the son of Ahicam: valiant men for war, and the women,
and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gabaon:
17 And they departed, and sat as sojourners in Chamaam,
which is near Bethlehem: in order to go forward, and enter into Egypt,
18 From the face of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid
of them, because Ismahel the son of Nathanias had slain Godolias the son of
Ahicam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Juda.
