Jeremias 41:10 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 41:10

Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the
people that [were] in Mizpah
All that were not slain by him, that remained after the slaughter he had made, chiefly the unarmed people; they being men of war who fell by his sword: [even] the king's daughters;
whether they were the daughters of Zedekiah, Jehoiakim, or Jehoiakim, says Kimchi, we know not; but it is most likely that they were the daughters of Zedekiah the last king, and who was just taken and carried captive; and so Josephus ^F14 expressly calls them; these the king of Babylon regarded not, because they could neither fight, nor claim the kingdom; only the sons of the king, whom he slew before his eyes; though it may be these were not his daughters by his lawful wife, but by his concubines, and so were not properly of the royal family, and less regarded: and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the
captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam;
that were not slain, or carried captive by the Chaldeans; but were left at Mizpah, under the care and government of Gedaliah: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive:
so that those who escaped one captivity fell into another, and even by the hand of one of their own countrymen: and departed to go over to the Ammonites;
he went from Mizpah with these captives, in order to carry them to the king of Ammon, and make them his slaves; who had put him upon this enterprise out of hatred to the Jews, and to enrich himself with their spoils. Some render it, "to go over with the Ammonites" ^F15; which they suppose the ten men to be that came along with him and the princes, to commit the barbarities they did.

Jeremias 41:10 In-Context

8 Mas dez deles disseram a Ismael: “Não nos mate! Temos trigo e cevada, azeite e mel, escondidos num campo”. Então ele os deixou em paz e não os matou com os demais.

9 A cisterna na qual ele jogou os corpos dos homens que havia matado, juntamente com o de Gedalias, tinha sido cavada pelo rei Asa para defender-se de Baasa, rei de Israel. Ismael, filho de Netanias, encheu-a com os mortos.

10 Ismael tomou como prisioneiros todo o restante do povo que estava em Mispá, inclusive as filhas do rei, sobre os quais Nebuzaradã, o comandante da guarda imperial, havia nomeado Gedalias, filho de Aicam, governador. Ismael, filho de Netanias, levou-os como prisioneiros e partiu para o território de Amom.

11 Quando Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os comandantes do exército que com ele estavam souberam do crime que Ismael, filho de Netanias, tinha cometido,

12 convocaram todos os seus soldados para lutar contra ele. Eles o alcançaram perto do grande açude de Gibeom.
