Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 41 of Jeremiah. Ishmael assassinates Gedaliah and those who were with him, turning the hope of a stable administration into a new crisis. The assassination occurs after a meal and expands into a massacre. Internal violence demonstrates that Judah’s collapse does not simply end with Babylon’s departure.

Y levantose Ismael hijo de Nethanías, y los diez hombres que con él estaban, e hirieron a cuchillo a Gedalías hijo de Ahicam, hijo de Saphán, matando así a aquel a quien el rey de Babilonia había puesto sobre la tierra.
Ismael, hijo de Netanías, y los diez hombres que lo acompañaban se levantaron e hirieron a espada a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam, hijo de Safán. Así mataron al que el rey de Babilonia había puesto al frente de la tierra.
Alors Ismaël, fils de Nethania, se leva avec les dix hommes dont il était accompagné, et ils frappèrent avec l'épée Guedalia, fils d'Achikam, fils de Schaphan; il fit ainsi mourir celui que le roi de Babylone avait établi gouverneur du pays.
Poi Ismaele, figliuolo di Netania, si levò, insieme co’ dieci uomini ch’erano con lui, e percossero colla spada Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahicam, figliuolo di Safan. Così lo fece morire; lui, che il re di Babilonia aveva costituito sopra il paese.
E levantou-se Ismael, filho de Netanias, com os dez homens que estavam com ele, e feriram à espada a Gedalias, filho de Aicão, filho de Safã, matando assim aquele que o rei de Babilônia havia posto por governador sobre a terra.
