The captains of the forces come to Gedaliah at Mizpah and Gedaliah swears to them, and the Jews return out of all places where they were driven and gather wine and summer fruits

군대장관들이 미스바의 그다랴에게 이르고 그다랴가 그들에게 맹세하며, 유다인들이 쫓겨났던 각처에서 돌아와 포도주와 여름 실과를 모음

Jeremiah 40:7–12: all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, hear that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, women, children, and of the poorest of the land, of those who were not carried away captive to Babylon. The text says, “then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men came to Gedaliah to Mizpah.” Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swears to them and to their men, saying, “Don’t be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you. As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans who will come to us; but you, gather wine and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.” Likewise all the Jews who were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and who were in all the countries, hear that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; then all the Jews return out of all places where they were driven, and come to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gather very much wine and summer fruits. The Korean Revised Version reads 40:10 우리에게로 오는 갈대아인을 섬기리니 (I will serve the Chaldeans who come to us), where WEB reads “to stand before the Chaldeans who will come to us”.
