તેઓએ તેને કહ્યું, “શું તમને ખબર છે કે આમ્મોનીઓના રાજા બાલિસે નથાન્યાના દીકરા ઇશ્માએલને તારું ખૂન કરવા માટે મોકલ્યો છે?” પરંતુ અહિકામના દીકરા ગદાલ્યાએ તેઓની વાત પર વિશ્વાસ મૂક્યો નહિ.

In context

12then all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered very much wine and summer fruits.

13Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,

14and said to him, “Do you know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam didn’t believe them.

15Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, “Please let me go, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man will know it. Why should he take your life, that all the Jews who are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?”

16But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, “You shall not do this thing, for you speak falsely of Ishmael.”
