The day after the murder of Gedaliah, before anyone knew about it, Eighty men arrived from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria. Their beards were shaved off, their clothes were torn, and cuts were on their bodies. They brought grain offerings and incense to Jehovah's Temple. Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, left Mizpah to meet them. He was crying as he went. When he met them, he said to them: Come to Gedaliah, son of Ahikam. When they came into the city, Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, and his men slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern. Ten men from the group pleaded with Ishmael: Do not kill us! We have wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey hidden in the country. So he left them alone and did not kill them along with the others. 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. 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.
