Jeremiah 41:16
Context41:16 Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers who were with him led off all the people who had been left alive at Mizpah.

They led off the men, women, children, soldiers, and court officials whom they had brought away from Gibeon.
1 tn Or “crimes,” or “evil things”; Heb “the evil.”
2 tn Heb “all the people who were with Ishmael.” However, this does not refer to his own troops but to those he had taken with him from Mizpah, i.e., the captives. The phrase is specifically clarified in the next verse, i.e. “the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah.” Hence the phrase is translated here according to sense, not according to the literal wording.
