    8However, ten of them said to Ishmael, 'Do not kill us! We have hidden supplies of wheat, barley, oil, and honey in the field.' So he refrained and did not kill them along with their companions.

    9Now the cistern where Ishmael threw all the corpses of the men he had killed because of Gedaliah was the one Asa the king had made as a defense against Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the dead.
