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.+

5 And he was yet not one that would return, when [Neb·uʹzar·adʹan said]: “Do return to Ged·a·liʹah+ the son of A·hiʹkam+ the son of Shaʹphan,+ whom the king of Babylon has commissioned over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him in the midst of the people; or to wherever it is right in your eyes to go, go.”+

And the chief of the bodyguard then gave him a food allowance and a present and let him go.+

2 Then Ishʹma·el the son of Neth·a·niʹah and the ten men that happened to be with him rose up and struck down Ged·a·liʹah the son of A·hiʹkam the son of Shaʹphan with the sword.+ So he put to death the one whom the king of Babylon had commissioned over the land.+
