2 Kings 25:23-25

[23] And when all the captains  of the armies,  heard  that the king  of Babylon  had made Gedaliah  governor,  there came  to Gedaliah  to Mizpah,  even Ishmael  the son  of Nethaniah,  and Johanan  the son  of Careah,  and Seraiah  the son  of Tanhumeth  the Netophathite,  and Jaazaniah  the son  of a Maachathite,  [24] And Gedaliah  sware  and said  unto them, Fear  not to be the servants  of the Chaldees:  dwell  in the land,  and serve  the king  of Babylon;  and it shall be well  with you. [25] But it came to pass in the seventh  month,  that Ishmael  the son  of Nethaniah,  the son  of Elishama,  of the seed  royal,  came,  and ten  with him, and smote  Gedaliah,  that he died,  and the Jews  and the Chaldees  that were with him at Mizpah.
