Jeremiah 41:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 41:15

But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with
eight men
Of the ten he brought with hin}, ( Jeremiah 41:1 ) ; two of them being slain in this skirmish, or taken by Johanan, or they fled another way: and went to the Ammonites;
who had put him upon, or however encouraged and assisted him in, his wicked attempts; though he returned to them not according to their wishes, nor with that honour and glory he thought to have done.

14 et reversus est omnis populus quem ceperat Ismahel in Masphat reversusque abiit ad Iohanan filium Caree

15 Ismahel autem filius Nathaniae fugit cum octo viris a facie Iohanan et abiit ad filios Ammon

16 tulit ergo Iohanan filius Caree et omnes principes bellatorum qui erant cum eo universas reliquias vulgi quas reduxerat ab Ismahel filio Nathaniae de Masphat postquam percussit Godoliam filium Ahicam fortes viros ad proelium et mulieres et pueros et eunuchos quos reduxerat de Gabaon

17 et abierunt et sederunt peregrinantes in Chamaam quae est iuxta Bethleem ut pergerent et introirent Aegyptum
