Jeremiah 40:13, 15

Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers of Judah still in the open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah.

Then Johanan son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in private at Mizpah. He said, “Let me go and kill Ishmael son of Nethaniah. No one will know anything about it. We should not let Ishmael kill you. Then all the Jews gathered around you would be scattered to different countries again, and the few people of Judah who are left alive would be lost.”
