“Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;”
Military captains learn of Gedaliah's appointment and submit to him. Their gathering creates conditions for conflict that dominates the remainder of the chapter.
