Ishmael, a member of the royal family, had assassinated Gedaliah, the Babylonian-appointed governor, and taken the people of Mizpah captive. Mizpah was a significant location in Benjamin's territory, often serving as a gathering place for Israel. The captives likely included soldiers, officials, and common people who had sought refuge there. This event highlights the political instability and chaos following the Babylonian conquest of Judah.<p><b>turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah</b><br>Johanan, a military leader, had warned Gedaliah about Ishmael's intentions but was not heeded. After Ishmael's attack, Johanan pursued him to rescue the captives. This turning of the captives to Johanan signifies a shift in allegiance and a desire for safety and stability. Johanan's leadership is seen as a beacon of hope amidst the turmoil. His actions are reminiscent of a deliverer, drawing parallels to other biblical figures who provided refuge and protection, such as Moses or David. This moment underscores the theme of God's providence and the restoration of order through faithful leaders.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/ishmael.htm">Ishmael</a></b><br>A member of the royal family and one of the officers of the king, who conspired against Gedaliah, the governor appointed by the Babylonians.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/mizpah.htm">Mizpah</a></b><br>A city in the territory of Benjamin, which served as a center of governance after the fall of Jerusalem.<br><br>3. <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 rescue the captives.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/c/captives.htm">Captives</a></b><br>The people taken by Ishmael after he assassinated Gedaliah, including soldiers, women, children, and eunuchs.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/g/gedaliah.htm">Gedaliah</a></b><br>The appointed governor of Judah by the Babylonians, who was assassinated by Ishmael.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_betrayal.htm">The Consequences of Betrayal</a></b><br>Ishmael's actions remind us of the destructive power of betrayal and the chaos it brings to communities.
