Jeremías 41:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 41:8

But ten men were found among them, that said unto Ishmael, slay
us not
They begged for their lives, using what follows as an argument to prevail upon him: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of
oil, and of honey;
not that they had then a stock upon the ground at this time; for this being the seventh month, not only the barley and wheat harvests had been over long ago, but the rest of the fruits of the earth were gathered in: but this either means storehouses of such things in the field; or else that these things were hid in cells under ground, the land having been invaded, to secure them from the enemy, as is common to do in time of war; and so Josephus says F9, they promised to deliver to him things hid in the fields, household goods, clothes, and corn: so he forbore, and slew them not among their brethren;
but saved them, and kept and carried them with him, in order to take these hidden treasures, which lay in his way to Ammon; for between Gibeon, where he was found, ( Jeremiah 41:12 ) ; and Ammon, lay Samaria, Sichem, and Shiloh; at least it was not far out of his way to take that course; and thus he appears to be a covetous man, as well as a cruel one.

Jeremías 41:8 In-Context

6 Entonces Ismael sali贸 de Mizpa para ir a su encuentro e iba llorando por el camino. Cuando los alcanz贸, les dijo: 芦隆Oh, vengan y vean lo que le ha sucedido a Gedal铆as!禄.
7 En cuanto entraron a la ciudad, Ismael y sus hombres los mataron a todos, menos a diez, y echaron sus cuerpos en una cisterna.
8 Los otros diez convencieron a Ismael que los dejara en libertad, con la promesa de traerle todo el trigo, la cebada, el aceite de oliva y la miel que hab铆an escondido.
9 La cisterna donde Ismael ech贸 los cuerpos de los hombres que asesin贸 era grande, cavada por 贸rdenes del rey Asa cuando fortific贸 Mizpa para protegerse de Baasa, rey de Israel. As铆 que, Ismael, hijo de Netan铆as, la llen贸 de cad谩veres.
10 Despu茅s Ismael captur贸 a las hijas del rey y al resto del pueblo que hab铆a quedado en Mizpa bajo el cuidado de Gedal铆as, quien hab铆a sido encargado por Nabuzarad谩n, capit谩n de la guardia. Los llev贸 consigo y comenz贸 el regreso a la tierra de Am贸n.
