And they came to Gedalyahu at Mitspah, even Yishma'el son of Nethanyah, and Yohanan son of Qareah, and Serayah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Ya'azanyahu the son of a Ma'akathite, they and their men.
24.
And Gedalyahu swore to them and their men, and said to them, 'Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the sovereign of Babel, and let it be well with you.'
