Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields ,
even they and their men ,
heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land ,
and had committed unto him men ,
and women ,
and children ,
and of the poor of the land ,
of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon ;
*
Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah ,
even Ishmael Yishma #

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 a Maachathite Ma #

they and their men .

And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men ,
saying ,
Fear not to serve the Chaldeans :
dwell in the land ,
and serve the king of Babylon ,
and it shall be well with you .
