Y dijéronle: ¿No sabes de cierto como Baalis, rey de los hijos de Ammón, ha enviado a Ismael hijo de Nethanías, para matarte? Mas Gedalías hijo de Ahicam no los creyó.
y le dijeron: «¿Sabes que Baalis, rey de los amonitas, ha enviado a Ismael, hijo de Netanías, para quitarte la vida?». Pero Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam, no les creyó.
