23 And when all the captains [08269] of the armies [02428], they and their men [0582], heard [08085] that the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had made Gedaliah [01436] governor [06485], there came [0935] to Gedaliah [01436] to Mizpah [04709], even Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418], and Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Careah [07143], and Seraiah [08304] the son [01121] of Tanhumeth [08576] the Netophathite [05200], and Jaazaniah [02970] the son [01121] of a Maachathite [04602], they and their men [0582].
