Jeremiah 41 – Studienbibel

1 Now it came to pass in the seventh7637 month2320, that Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 the son1121 of Elishama476, of the seed2233 royal4410, and the princes7227 of the king4428, even ten6235 men582 with him, came935 unto Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 to Mizpah4709; and there they did eat398 bread3899 together3162 in Mizpah4708. 2 Then arose6965 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418, and the ten6235 men582 that were with him, and smote5221 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan8227 with the sword2719, and slew4191 him, whom the king4428 of Babylon894 had made governor6485 over the land776. 3 Ishmael3458 also slew5221 all the Jews3064 that were with him, even with Gedaliah1436, at Mizpah4709, and the Chaldeans3778 that were found4672 there, and the men582 of war4421. 4 And it came to pass the second8145 day3117 after he had slain4191 Gedaliah1436, and no man376 knew3045 it, 5 That there came935 certain582 from Shechem7927, from Shiloh7887, and from Samaria8111, even fourscore8084 men376, having their beards2206 shaven1548, and their clothes899 rent7167, and having cut1413 themselves, with offerings4503 and incense3828 in their hand3027, to bring935 them to the house1004 of the LORD3068. 6 And Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 went forth3318 from Mizpah4709 to meet7125 them, weeping1058 all along1980 as he went1980: and it came to pass, as he met6298 them, he said559 unto them, Come935 to Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296.¹ 7 And it was so, when they came935 into the midst8432 of the city5892, that Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 slew7819 them, and cast them into the midst8432 of the pit953, he, and the men582 that were with him. 8 But ten6235 men582 were found4672 among them that said559 unto Ishmael3458, Slay4191 us not: for we have3426 treasures4301 in the field7704, of wheat2406, and of barley8184, and of oil8081, and of honey1706. So he forbare2308, and slew4191 them not among8432 their brethren251. 9 Now the pit953 wherein Ishmael3458 had cast7993 all the dead bodies6297 of the men582, whom he had slain5221 because3027 of Gedaliah1436, was it which Asa609 the king4428 had made6213 for fear6440 of Baasha1201 king4428 of Israel3478: and Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 filled4390 it with them that were slain2491.² 10 Then Ishmael3458 carried away captive7617 all the residue7611 of the people5971 that were in Mizpah4709, even the king's4428 daughters1323, and all the people5971 that remained7604 in Mizpah4709, whom Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 had committed6485 to Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296: and Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 carried them away captive7617, and departed3212 to go over5674 to the Ammonites1121 5983.

11 But when Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah7143, and all the captains8269 of the forces2428 that were with him, heard8085 of all the evil7451 that Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 had done6213, 12 Then they took3947 all the men582, and went3212 to fight3898 with Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418, and found4672 him by the great7227 waters4325 that are in Gibeon1391. 13 Now it came to pass, that when all the people5971 which were with Ishmael3458 saw7200 Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah7143, and all the captains8269 of the forces2428 that were with him, then they were glad8055. 14 So all the people5971 that Ishmael3458 had carried away captive7617 from Mizpah4709 cast about5437 and returned7725, and went3212 unto Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah7143. 15 But Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 escaped4422 from6440 Johanan3110 with eight8083 men582, and went3212 to the Ammonites1121 5983. 16 Then took3947 Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah7143, and all the captains8269 of the forces2428 that were with him, all the remnant7611 of the people5971 whom he had recovered7725 from Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418, from Mizpah4709, after310 that he had slain5221 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296, even mighty1397 men582 of war4421, and the women802, and the children2945, and the eunuchs5631, whom he had brought again7725 from Gibeon1391: 17 And they departed3212, and dwelt in3427 the habitation1628 of Chimham3643, which is by681 Bethlehem1035, to go3212 to enter935 into Egypt4714, 18 Because6440 of the Chaldeans3778: for they were afraid3372 of them, because Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 had slain5221 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296, whom the king4428 of Babylon894 made governor6485 in the land776.
