Jeremiah 40

Nebuzaradan frees Yirmeyahu from chains at Ramah, acknowledges YHWH's judgment on Yehudah for sin, and offers him choice to go to Bavel or stay; Yirmeyahu chooses to join Gedalyahu ben Achikam, appointed governor at Mitspah, where remnant Jews return and harvest abundantly[1][3][4]. Johanan ben Qareach warns Gedalyahu of Baalis king of Ammon's plot via Yishma'el ben Netanyah to assassinate him, but Gedalyahu disbelieves and rejects preemptive action[1][3][4].
