Jeremiah 41:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 41:14

So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from
Mizpah cast about
Or turned about, and wheeled off from Ishmael, and deserted him at once; not at all regarding his authority, nor fearing his menaces or his power; being in sight of the captains and their forces, they were determined to join, and put themselves under their protection, knowing them to be their friends, and that they, came to deliver them: and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah;
turned their backs on Ishmael, and marched directly to Johanan, and the captains of the forces under them.

Jeremiah 41:14 In-Context

12 So they mustered all their forces and went to fight him. They found Ishmael, Nethaniah's son, at the great pool in Gibeon.

13 When all those taken by Ishmael at Mizpah saw Johanan, Kareah's son, and all his army officers with him, they were delighted.

14 They rallied around Johanan, Kareah's son, and returned home with him.

15 But Ishmael, Nethaniah's son, and eight of his men eluded Johanan and went to the Ammonites.

16 Then Johanan, Kareah's son, and all the army officers with him took the small group they had rescued in Gibeon, including the soldiers, women, children, and commanding officers that Ishmael, Nethaniah's son, had captured at Mizpah after killing Gedaliah, Ahikam's son.
