Or go wherever it seems right for you to go.” So the captain of the guard gave him rations and a gift and let him go.
Now all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land and had committed men to him, and women, and children, and some of the poorest of the land who were not carried away captive to Babylon.
