Jeremiah 41:7-9

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁷ But when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and threw them into^[a] a cistern.

⁸ However, there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, ‘Don’t kill us, for we have hidden treasure in the field – wheat, barley, oil, and honey! ’ So he stopped and did not kill them along with their companions. ⁹ Now the cistern where Ishmael had thrown all the corpses of the men he had struck down was a large one^[b] that King Asa had made in the encounter with King Baasha of Israel.^(A) Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.
