12 Todos estes judeus voltaram então de todas as partes para onde haviam sido lançados, e vieram à terra de Judá, a Gedalias em Mispá; e colheram vinho e muitos frutos de verão.

13 E Joanã filho de Careá, e todos os comandantes dos exércitos que estavam em campo, vieram a Gedalias em Mispá,

14 E lhe disseram: Com certeza tu sabes que Baalis, rei dos filhos de Amom, enviou a Ismael filho de Netanias, para te matar, não é verdade? Porém Gedalias filho de Aicã não creu neles.

15 Então Joanã filho de Careá falou a Gedalias em segredo, em Mispá, dizendo: Eu irei agora, e ferirei a Ismael filho de Netanias, e ninguém saberá; por que haveria ele de te matar, e todos os judeus que se ajuntaram a ti se dispersarem, e perecerem o restante de Judá?

16 Mas Gedalias filho de Aicã disse a Joanã filho de Careá: Não faças isto, pois o que tu dizes de Ismael é falso.
