Jeremiah 41:4-7 English Standard Version (ESV)

4. On the day after the murder of Gedaliah, before anyone knew of it,

5. eighty men arrived from Shechem and Shiloh and Samaria, with their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and their bodies gashed, bringing grain offerings and incense to present at the temple of the Lord.

6. And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah came out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he came. As he met them, he said to them, “Come in to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.”

7. When they came into the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and cast them into a cistern.
