Jeremiah 41:10
Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
After Gedaliah was assassinated, Ishmael son of Nethaniah carried away captive the residue of the people at Mizpah, including the king's daughters and all the people that remained there whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, and departed to go over to the Ammonites. The chapter records the murder of Gedaliah, the Jewish viceroy left by Nebuchadnezzar after the destruction of Jerusalem. That carrying away was the king of Ammon dispersing the Jews who had gathered in Judah after Babylon had taken the nation captive.
The verse belongs to Jeremiah 32 to 45, which gives the history of the two years before the fall of Jerusalem, among the prophecies uttered during the rule of Gedaliah. In chronological sequence chapter 41 comes after chapter 40 and before chapters 42 to 44, though the book as printed is not in chronological order. This attack and dispersion of the remnant left by the king of Babylon gave rise to the Jewish fast in the seventh month, observed during the seventy years of captivity. Tisri 3 is kept as the Fast of Gedaliah to commemorate that murder, as one of four fasts commemorating events connected with the fall of Jerusalem, and like the other fasts except that of Ab 9 it begins at daybreak.
