Jeremiah 41:8 in Context — Jeremiah 41

6 E Ismael filho de Netanias saiu ao encontro deles desde Mispá, chorando; e sucedeu que, quando os encontrou, disse-lhes: Vinde a Gedalias, filho de Aicã.

7 E sucedeu que, quando eles chegaram ao meio da cidade, Ismael filho de Netanias os degolou, e [os lançou] no meio de um poço, ele e os homens que com ele estavam.

8 Mas entre aqueles se acharam dez homens que disseram a Ismael: Não nos mates; porque temos tesouros escondidos no campo, de trigos, e cevada, azeite, e mel. E ele os deixou, e não os matou entre seus irmãos.

9 E o poço em que Ismael lançou todos os cadáveres dos homens que feriu por causa de Gedalias, era o mesmo que o rei Asa havia feito por causa de Baasa, rei de Israel. A este Ismael, filho de Netanias, encheu de mortos.

10 Depois Ismael levou cativo a todo o resto do povo que estava em Mispá; às filhas do rei, e a todo o povo que em Mispá tinha restado, o qual tinha Nabuzaradã capitão da guarda havia encarregado a Gedalias filho de Aicã. Então Ismael os levou cativos, e foi embora, para passar aos filhos de Amom.
