Jeremiah41:10
10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people, that were in Mizpah, even the kings daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan 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 .
By this verse appeareth that All the Iews, ver. 3. must be understood in a restrained sense concerning all those about Gedaliah. For he carried many away as Prisoners, as also Zedekiahs Daughters, who either had concealed themselves at the taking of the City, or were left behind by the Conquerors, as not like much to hurt them, and having done this he knew there was no abiding for him long there, so he hastneth away to the Ammonites, who (as we had it before) imployed him in this murder.
