22 As for the people+ left behind in the land of Judah, whom Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar the king of Babylon had left behind, he now appointed over them Ged·a·liʹah*+ the son of A·hiʹkam+ the son of Shaʹphan.+

14 And they proceeded to say to him: “Do you not at all know that Baʹa·lis, the king of the sons of Amʹmon,+ himself has sent Ishʹma·el+ the son of Neth·a·niʹah+ to strike you to the soul?” But Ged·a·liʹah the son of A·hiʹkam did not believe them.+
