New Testament
Jeremiah 41:10-18
10Then Ishmael made prisoners of all the people who were left in Mizpah, including the king's daughters and the others who were left there in Mizpah—people whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had placed under the care of Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them as prisoners and set out to cross over to the Ammonites.
11But when Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers with him heard about all the crimes that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had committed, 12they took all of their men and went to attack Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They caught up with him by the great pool at Gibeon. 13When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers who were with him, they were glad. 14All of the people whom Ishmael had taken prisoner turned back and went to Johanan son of Kareah. 15But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and went over to the Ammonites.
16Then Johanan son of Kareah and the army officers with him took all the survivors from Mizpah, whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam—the soldiers, the women, the children, and the court officials that Johanan had brought back from Gibeon. 17They left there and stayed at Geruth Kimham near Bethlehem. They were on the way to Egypt 18because they were afraid of the Chaldeans, since Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed as governor over the land.
