He was a military leader, likely of noble descent, who played a crucial role in the events following the Babylonian conquest. His actions are pivotal in the narrative of the remnant of Judah. Johanan's leadership is often seen as a stabilizing force amidst chaos, reflecting the need for strong leadership in times of crisis.<p><b>and all the commanders of the armies with him</b><br>The mention of "all the commanders of the armies" indicates a coalition of military leaders who were loyal to Gedaliah, the appointed governor by the Babylonians. This group represents the remaining organized military force in Judah, highlighting the fragmented state of the nation. Their unity under Johanan suggests a concerted effort to restore order and protect the people from further harm.<p><b>heard of all the crimes</b><br>The term "crimes" refers to the violent and treacherous acts committed by Ishmael. This includes the murder of Gedaliah, the Babylonian-appointed governor, and others who were with him. These acts were not only political assassinations but also betrayals that threatened the fragile peace and security of the remaining Judeans. The use of "crimes" underscores the moral and legal violations that Ishmael's actions represented.<p><b>that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had committed</b><br>Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, was of royal blood, possibly motivated by political ambition and resentment towards the Babylonian-appointed leadership. His actions can be seen as an attempt to reclaim power and assert independence from Babylonian control. Ishmael's betrayal and murder of Gedaliah were significant because they disrupted the efforts to stabilize the region and maintain a remnant in the land. This act of treachery is a reminder of the internal conflicts and divisions that plagued Judah, even in its weakened state.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/johanan_son_of_kareah.htm">Johanan son of Kareah</a></b><br>A military leader who opposed Ishmael's actions and sought to protect the remnant of Judah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/ishmael_son_of_nethaniah.htm">Ishmael son of Nethaniah</a></b><br>A member of the royal family who assassinated Gedaliah, the Babylonian-appointed governor, and committed further atrocities.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/gedaliah.htm">Gedaliah</a></b><br>The governor appointed by the Babylonians over Judah, whose assassination by Ishmael led to chaos and fear among the people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_commanders_of_the_armies.htm">The commanders of the armies</a></b><br>Military leaders allied with Johanan, who were concerned about the welfare of the people after Ishmael's actions.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/mizpah.htm">Mizpah</a></b><br>The location where Gedaliah was assassinated and where Ishmael's treachery unfolded.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_ignoring_warnings.htm">The Consequences of Ignoring Warnings</a></b><br>Gedaliah's disregard for Johanan's warning led to disaster.
