prevailed
against thee: thy

are
sunk

strkjv@Jeremiah:38:23
@ So they shall bring
out
all thy

@ But when
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah
, and all the
captains
of the
forces
that were with him,
heard
of all the
evil
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
had
done
,
strkjv@Jeremiah:41:12
@ Then they
took
all the
men
, and
went
to
fight
with
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
, and
found
him by the
great
waters
that are in
Gibeon
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:41:13
@ Now it came to pass, that when all the
people
which were with
Ishmael
saw
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah
, and all the
captains
of the
forces
that were with him, then they were
glad
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:41:14
@ So all the
people
that
Ishmael
had carried away
captive
from
Mizpah
cast
about
and
returned
, and
went
unto
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:41:15
@ But
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
escaped
from
Johanan
with
eight
men
, and
went
to the
Ammonites
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:41:16
@ Then
took
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah
, and all the
captains
of the
forces
that were with him, all the
remnant
of the
people
whom he had
recovered
from
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
, from
Mizpah
,
after
that he had
slain
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
, even
mighty
men
of
war
, and the
women
, and the
children
, and the
eunuchs
, whom he had brought
again
from
Gibeon
:
strkjv@Jeremiah:41:17
@ And they
departed
, and dwelt
in
the
habitation
of
Chimham
, which is
by
Bethlehem
Beyth, to
go
to
enter
into
Egypt
,
strkjv@Jeremiah:41:18
@
Because
of the
Chaldeans
: for they were
afraid
of them, because
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
had
slain
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
, whom the
king
of
Babylon
made
governor
in the
land
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:42:1
@ Then all the

Johanan
the
son

, and
Jezaniah
the
son
of
Hoshaiah
, and all the
people
