Jeremiah 41:8 in Context — Jeremiah 41
6 Ismaël, fils de Nethania, sortit de Mitspa au-devant d’eux; il marchait en pleurant. Lorsqu’il les rencontra, il leur dit: Venez vers Guedalia, fils d’Achikam.
7 Et quand ils furent au milieu de la ville, Ismaël, fils de Nethania, les égorgea et les jeta dans la citerne, avec l’aide des gens qui l’accompagnaient.
8 Mais il se trouva parmi eux dix hommes, qui dirent à Ismaël: Ne nous fais pas mourir, car nous avons des provisions cachées dans les champs, du froment, de l’orge, de l’huile et du miel. Alors il les épargna, et ne les fit pas mourir avec leurs frères.
9 La citerne dans laquelle Ismaël jeta tous les cadavres des hommes qu’il tua près de Guedalia est celle qu’avait construite le roi Asa, lorsqu’il craignait Baescha, roi d’Israël; c’est cette citerne qu’Ismaël, fils de Nethania, remplit de cadavres.
10 Ismaël fit prisonniers tous ceux qui restaient à Mitspa, les filles du roi et tous ceux du peuple qui y demeuraient, et que Nebuzaradan, chef des gardes, avait confiés à Guedalia, fils d’Achikam; Ismaël, fils de Nethania, les emmena captifs, et partit pour passer chez les Ammonites.
