41 In the seventh month Ishʹma·el+ son of Neth·a·niʹah son of E·lishʹa·ma, who was of the royal line* and one of the principal men of the king, came with ten other men to Ged·a·liʹah the son of A·hiʹkam at Mizʹpah.+ As they were eating a meal together in Mizʹpah, 2 Ishʹma·el the son of Neth·a·niʹah and the ten men who were with him rose up and struck down Ged·a·liʹah the son of A·hiʹkam the son of Shaʹphan with the sword. So he put to death the one whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
