16Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the military forces that were with him took from Mizpah aall the remnant of the people whom he had returned from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, that is, the mighty men who were men of war, the women, the little ones, and the eunuchs, whom he had returned from Gibeon. 17And they went and stayed in 1,aGeruth Chimham, which is beside Bethlehem, in order to bproceed into Egypt 18because of the Chaldeans; for they were aafraid of them, since Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom bthe king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
