Jeremiah 40:9-12

Jeremiah 40:9-12

[9] And Gedaliah  the son  of Ahikam  the son  of Shaphan  sware  saying,  Fear  not to serve  the Chaldeans:  dwell in  the land,  and serve  the king  of Babylon,  and it shall be well  with you. [10] As for me, behold, I will dwell  at Mizpah  to serve  the Chaldeans,  which will come  unto us: but ye, gather  ye wine,  and summer fruits,  and oil,  and put  them in your vessels,  and dwell  in your cities  that ye have taken.  [11] Likewise when all the Jews  that were in Moab,  and among the Ammonites,  and in Edom,  and that were in all the countries,  heard  that the king  of Babylon  had left  a remnant  of Judah,  and that he had set  over them Gedaliah  the son  of Ahikam  the son  of Shaphan;  [12] Even all the Jews  returned out  of all places  whither they were driven,  and came  to the land  of Judah,  to Gedaliah,  unto Mizpah,  and gathered  wine  and summer fruits  very  much.
