Ishmael kills the men who came from Shechem, Shiloh and Samaria and casts them into the pit, and carries away the people left in Mizpah

이스마엘이 세겜과 실로와 사마리아에서 온 사람들을 죽여 구덩이에 던지고 미스바에 남은 백성을 사로잡아 떠남

Jeremiah 41:4–10: the text says, “The second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it, men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the LORD’s house.” Ishmael the son of Nethaniah goes out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he goes, and as he meets them, he says to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.” When they come into the middle of the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah kills them, and casts them into the middle of the pit, he, and the men who were with him. But ten men are found among those who say to Ishmael, “Don’t kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.” So he stops, and doesn’t kill them among their brothers. The text says, “Now the pit in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed. Then Ishmael carried away captive all of the people who were left in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.” The Korean Revised Version gives 41:4 as a sentence of its own (그가 그다랴를 죽인지 이틀이 되었어도 이를 아는 사람이 없었더라, two days after he had killed Gedaliah no one knew it), and reads 41:9 그다랴에게 속한 사람들 (the men who belonged to Gedaliah), where WEB reads “the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah”.
