20 Ngakho bonke abantu bako-Israyeli basuka emadolobheni abo kusukela koDani+ kusiya eBheri-shebha laseGiliyadi+ bayabuthana phambi kukaJehova eMizipha,+ baba njengomuntu munye.

17 USamuyeli wabuthanisa abantu bako-Israyeli ndawonye phambi kukaJehova eMizipha,+

23 Zonke izinduna zamabutho kanye lamabutho azo zathi zisizwa ukuthi inkosi yeBhabhiloni isibeke uGedaliya zahle zaya kuye eMizipha. Izinduna lezo kwakungu-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya, loJohanani indodana kaKhareya, loSeraya indodana kaThanihumethi umNethofa, loJazaniya indodana yomMahakhathi. Zahamba lamabutho azo.+

6 Ngakho uJeremiya waya kuGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikhamu eMizipha,+ wahlala laye phakathi kwabantu ababesele elizweni.
