I. JOHANAN, the son of Careah, being informed that Ishmael, the son of 2 Kings xxv. 23. Jer. xl. 15, 16.Nethaniah, was come to Mizpah, with a design of killing Gedaliah, who had been left there by Nebuchadnezzar to govern the remnant of the people, who continued in the land; Johanan, I say, gave intelligence of it to Gedaliah, and made an offer of going himself to kill Ishmael, and by that means prevent the execution of his purpose. But Gedaliah refusing to credit him, was soon after massacred; in the year of the world 3417, before J. C. 583, before the vulgar Æra 587.
