Jeremiah 41:12
"But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,"
Key Reflection
When Johanan and his fellow captains heard about Ishmael's treacherous actions, they were likely shocked and wary of a potential threat to their safety and the stability of the community. This event occurred after the Babylonian conquest, amidst the political turmoil in Judah, where various factions vied for power, making such news a significant and potentially dangerous development for Johanan and his group who had recently aligned themselves with Gedaliah as governor.
