Jeremiah 41

In the seventh month, Ishmael ben Nethanyah, of royal blood, assassinates Gedaliah ben Ahikam, the Babylonian-appointed governor at Mizpah, along with Jews and Chaldean guards there[1][4]. Ishmael deceives and murders eighty pilgrims from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria en route to the temple ruins, sparing ten for their hidden stores, then takes captives including the king's daughters toward the Ammonites, but Johanan ben Kareah pursues and rescues most at Gibeon[1][2][3].
