This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Jer_40:8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

Ver. 8. Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah.] Where Samuel dwelt, {1Sa_7:16-17} not far from Shiloh.



Even Ishmael.] Who was of the blood royal {Jer_41:1} and envied Gedaliah his so great preferment, whom he looked upon for a transfuga, deserter and a traitor, for revolting to Nebuchadnezzar, which yet he did in obedience to God’s word by the prophet Jeremiah.
