"Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, {was} it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: {and} Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with {them that were} slain. {because...: or, near Gedaliah: Heb. by the hand, or, by the side of Gedaliah}"

— Jeremiah 41:9 King James Version
