22 And over the people who remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, governor.

24 But the hand of ^cAhikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah so that he was not given over to the people to be put to death.

14 sent and took Jeremiah from the court of the guard. They entrusted him to Gedaliah the son of ^uAhikam, son of Shaphan, ^vthat he should take him home. So he lived among the people.

5 If you remain,¹ then return to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, ^ewhom the king of Babylon appointed governor of the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people. Or go wherever you think it right to go.” So the captain of the guard gave him an allowance of food and a present, and let him go.
