Jeremiah 41:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 41:13

Now it came to pass, [that], when all the people which [were]
with Ishmael
That is, those which he had brought captives from Mizpah; not those that came with him thither: saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that
[were] with him, they were glad;
looking upon them as their deliverers; hoping by their means to be preserved from being carried captives to the king of Ammon.
