ISRAEL PROPHECIES, (For the history of the above kings see under each name)
2 Kings 25:26
All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah 41:14-18
14. So all the people who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
15. But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16. Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
17. They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt
18. because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
Jeremiah 42:13-18
13. "'But if you say, "We will not dwell in this land;" so that you don't obey the LORD your God's voice,
14. saying, "No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:"'
15. now therefore hear The LORD's word, O remnant of Judah: the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says, 'If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there;
16. then it will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there.
17. So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.'
18. For the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will see this place no more.'
