THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET
JEREMIAH
CHAPTER 40
  5 Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to aGedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him bvictuals and a reward, and let him go.
