Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Ba´asha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedali´ah the son of Ahi´kam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ish´ma-el the son of Nethani´ah the son of Elish´ama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedali´ah the son of Ahi´kam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beer–sheba, with the land of Gil´e-ad, unto the Lord in Mizpeh.
