Jeremiah 41:11
"Then Ishmael carried away captive all of the people who were left in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon."
Key Reflection
This passage depicts Ishmael's betrayal, capturing not just common people but even royal family members, highlighting his treacherous actions against those under Gedaliah’s care. It underscores the broader theme of deception and the consequences of betrayal within a time of supposed stability after the return from exile.
