“Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.”
In the seventh month, Ishmael with ten men kills Gedaliah and others. This assassination of the appointed governor represents rebellion against Babylon and the accommodation policy.
