Jeremiah 40:14-16

Jeremiah 40:14-16

[14] And said  unto him, Dost thou certainly  that Baalis  the king  of the Ammonites  hath sent  Ishmael  the son  of Nethaniah  to slay  thee? But Gedaliah  the son  of Ahikam  believed  them not. [15] Then Johanan  the son  of Kareah  spake  to Gedaliah  in Mizpah  secretly,  saying,  I pray thee, and I will slay  Ishmael  the son  of Nethaniah,  and no man  shall know  it: wherefore should he slay  thee, that all the Jews  which are gathered  unto thee should be scattered,  and the remnant  in Judah  perish?  [16] But Gedaliah  the son  of Ahikam  said  unto Johanan  the son  of Kareah,  Thou shalt not do  this thing:  for thou speakest  falsely  of Ishmael.
