後來，加利亞的兒子約哈難在米斯巴私下對基大利說：「讓我去殺掉尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利吧！沒人會知道。何必讓他來殺害你，以致匯集到你這裡的猶大餘民再度分散、滅亡呢？」

Then Johanan son of Kareah said privately to Gedaliah in Mizpah,“ Let me go and kill Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one will know it. Why should he take your life and cause all the Jews who are gathered around you to be scattered and the remnant of Judah to perish?”

Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, spoke in private to Gedaliah in Mizpah. He said,“ Let me go and kill Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. No one will know about it. Why should he take your life? Why should he cause all the Jews gathered around you to be scattered? Why should he cause the people who remain in Judah to die?”

Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke secretly to Gedaliah at Mizpah,“ Please let me go and strike down Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no one will know it. Why should he take your life, so that all the Judeans who are gathered about you would be scattered, and the remnant of Judah would perish?”

Later Johanan had a private conference with Gedaliah and volunteered to kill Ishmael secretly.“ Why should we let him come and murder you?” Johanan asked.“ What will happen then to the Judeans who have returned? Why should the few of us who are still left be scattered and lost?”

Then Johanan son of Kareah suggested to Gedaliah in private at Mizpah,“ Let me go kill Ishmael son of Nethaniah. No one will know it. Why should he kill you and allow all of Judah that has gathered around you to scatter and the remnant of Judah to perish?”

Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke secretly to Gedaliah in Mizpah, saying,“ Let me go and kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no one will know! Why should he take your life, so that all the Jews who are gathered to you would be scattered and the remnant of Judah would perish?”

Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke secretly to Gedaliah in Mizpah, saying,“ Let me go, please, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no one will know it. Why should he murder you, so that all the Jews who are gathered to you would be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?”

Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he take thy life, that all the Jews that are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?

Then Johanan son of Kareah spoke privately to Gedaliah there at Mizpah,“ Let me go and kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah before anyone knows about it. Otherwise he will kill you and all the Judeans who have rallied around you will be scattered. Then what remains of Judah will disappear.”

洗魯雅的兒子亞比篩趕來救駕，殺死了非利士巨人。這事以後，大衛的部下向他起誓說：「你絕不可再跟我們一起出戰，免得以色列的燈熄滅。」

亞比篩對大衛說：「現在上帝把你的敵人交在你手中了，讓我一矛把他釘在地上，決不用刺第二下。」

他們卻說：「請我王不要出戰。因為如果我們敗逃，敵方不會放在心上；即使我們一半人陣亡，敵方也不會放在心上。你一人比我們一萬人更寶貴。你還是留在城中支援我們吧。」

對耶利米先知說：「求你答應我們的懇求，為我們這些餘民向我們的上帝耶和華祈求。你也看見了，我們本來人數眾多，現在卻寥寥無幾。

但耶和華啊，你認識我，瞭解我，察驗我的內心。求你拖走他們，就像拖走待宰的羊，留到宰殺之日。大地哀慟、田野的植物枯槁要到何時呢？由於這地方居民的罪惡，野獸和飛鳥都滅絕了。他們說：「上帝看不見我們的行為。」

大衛的部下對大衛說：「耶和華說過要把你的仇敵交在你手中，任你處置，今天機會來了。」大衛就爬過去，偷偷割了掃羅外袍的一角。

你們沒有認識到，祂一個人替眾人死，而不是整個民族滅亡，對你們來說更好。」

「人子啊，那些住在以色列廢墟中的人說，『亞伯拉罕一人尚且能擁有這片土地，我們這麼多人更能擁有這片土地為業。』但你要告訴他們，主耶和華這樣說，『你們吃帶血的肉，仰賴偶像，又殺人流血，怎能擁有這片土地呢？你們靠刀劍行可憎之事，個個玷污別人的妻子，你們怎能擁有這片土地呢？』你要告訴他們，主耶和華這樣說，『我憑我的永恆起誓，那些住在廢墟中的必死於刀下，逃到田野的必被野獸吞吃，躲進堡壘和洞穴的必死於瘟疫。我要使這片土地荒涼不堪，使她所誇耀的勢力消逝。以色列的山必荒涼，杳無人跡。因為他們所行的一切可憎之事，我必使這地方荒涼不堪，那時他們就知道我是耶和華。』

住在我帳篷中的人，誰沒飽餐我的肉食呢？
