Mizpah, located in the territory of Benjamin, became the administrative center. This reflects the shift in power and the attempt to establish order post-exile. Mizpah had historical significance as a gathering place for Israel (<a href="/judges/20.htm">Judges 20:1</a>) and a site of Samuel's leadership (<a href="/1_samuel/7-5.htm">1 Samuel 7:5-6</a>).Ishmael son of Nethaniah Ishmael was of royal blood, a descendant of David, which may have fueled his ambition and resentment towards Gedaliah's appointment.

His actions demonstrate the complex loyalties and tensions among the remaining leaders. The mention of both brothers highlights the familial and tribal alliances that played a crucial role in the governance and protection of the remnant.Seraiah son of Tanhumeth Seraiah's inclusion indicates the diverse group of leaders rallying around Gedaliah. His background is less documented, but his presence suggests a coalition of various factions within Judah, each with vested interests in the new governance structure.the sons of Ephai the Netophathite Netophah was a town near Bethlehem, and its mention here indicates the involvement of leaders from smaller towns in the political landscape of post-exilic Judah.
