Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 25:25

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

25. Ishmael . . . of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah —He had found refuge with Baalis, king of the Ammonites, and he returned with a bad design, being either instigated by envy of a governor not descended from the house of David, or bribed by Baalis to murder Gedaliah. The generous governor, though apprised of his intentions, refused to credit the report, much less to sanction the proposal made by an attached friend to cut off Ishmael. The consequence was, that he was murdered by this same Ishmael, when entertaining him in his own house ( Jeremiah 41:1 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-26" class="com-number"
