41 ^(A)Now it happened in the seventh month, that ^(B)Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed and one of the chief officers of the king, along with ten men, came to Mizpah to ^(C)Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. And they ^(D)were eating bread together there in Mizpah. ² Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him arose and ^(E)struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword and ^(F)put to death the one ^(G)whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
