Now while he was not yet gone back ,
he said ,
Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan ,
whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah ,
and dwell with him among the people :
or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient yashar #
unto thee to go .
So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward mas #
eth #,
and let him go .

Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah ;
and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land .
*
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 ;
