And Ismael the sonne of Nathaniah with those ten men that were sworne to him, starte vp, and smote Godoliah the sonne of Ahic&abar; the sonne of Saphan with the swearde, and slewe him, whom the kynge of Babylon had made gouernoure of the lande.

Amonge these .lxxx. men there were ten, that sayde vnto Ismael: Oh slaye vs not, for we haue yet a great treasure in þe; felde, of wheate barley, oyle and hony. So he spared them, ∧ slewe them not with theyr brethren. Nowe the note pyt wherin Ismael dyd cast þe; deed bodies of the men (whom he slewe because of Godoliah) had kynge Asa caused to be made, for feare of Baasa the kyng of Israel, and the same pyt dyd Ismael fyll with slayne m&ebar; As for the remnaunt of the people, þe; kynges daughters and all the people that were yet left at Mizpa, C   vpon whom note Nabusaradan the chefe Captayne had made Godoliah the sonne of Ahicam gouernoure: Ismael þe; sonne of Nathaniah caryed them awaye presoners towarde the Ammonites.

Nowe when all the people, wh&obar; Ismael led captiue, sawe Iohan&abar; the sonne of Careah and all the other Captaines of the Hoste, they were glad. So all the people that Ismael had caryed awaye from Mizpa, were brought agayne.

And when they returned, they came to Iohanan the sonne of Careah. But Ismael the sonne of Nathaniah fled from Iohan&abar; with D    eyght of hys sworne companyons, ∧ wente to the Ammonites. Then Iohanan the sonne of Careah and all the captaynes of þe; Hoste that were with him, toke all the remna&ubar;t of the people, whom Ismael the sonne of Nathaniah had led a waye.
