Some Jews Take Jeremiah to Egypt

¹⁶ Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, led away all the people of Mizpah who were still alive. All the other army officers with Johanan helped him do this. He had taken them away from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. That happened after Ishmael had murdered Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. The people Johanan had taken away included soldiers, women, children and court officials. He had brought them from Gibeon. ¹⁷ They went on their way. They stopped at Geruth Kimham near Bethlehem. They were going to Egypt.
