                                  JOHANAN

2KI 25:22  Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, 
the son of Shaphan, to be over the people he had left behind in Judah.

2KI 25:23  When all the army officers and their men heard that the king of 
Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at 
Mizpah--Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of 
Tanhumeth the Netophathite, Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, and their 
men.

2KI 25:24  Gedaliah took an oath to reassure them and their men. "Do not be 
afraid of the Babylonian officials," he said. "Settle down in the land and 
serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you."

JER 40:13  Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers still in the 
open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah

JER 40:14  and said to him, "Don't you know that Baalis king of the 
Ammonites has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to take your life?" But 
Gedaliah son of Ahikam did not believe them.

JER 40:15  Then Johanan son of Kareah said privately to Gedaliah in Mizpah, 
"Let me go and kill Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one will know it. Why 
should he take your life and cause all the Jews who are gathered around you 
to be scattered and the remnant of Judah to perish?"

JER 40:16  But Gedaliah son of Ahikam said to Johanan son of Kareah, "Don't 
do such a thing! What you are saying about Ishmael is not true."

JER 41:11  When Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers who were 
with him heard about all the crimes Ishmael son of Nethaniah had committed,

JER 41:12  they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael son of 
Nethaniah. They caught up with him near the great pool in Gibeon.

JER 41:13  When all the people Ishmael had with him saw Johanan son of 
Kareah and the army officers who were with him, they were glad.

JER 41:14  All the people Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and 
went over to Johanan son of Kareah.

JER 41:15  But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from 
Johanan and fled to the Ammonites.

JER 42:2  Jeremiah the prophet and said to him, "Please hear our petition 
and pray to the LORD your God for this entire remnant. For as you now see, 
though we were once many, now only a few are left.

JER 42:3  Pray that the LORD your God will tell us where we should go and 
what we should do."

JER 43:1  When Jeremiah finished telling the people all the words of the 
LORD their God--everything the LORD had sent him to tell them--

JER 43:2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the 
arrogant men said to Jeremiah, "You are lying! The LORD our God has not 
sent you to say, 'You must not go to Egypt to settle there.'

JER 43:3  But Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to hand us 
over to the Babylonians, so they may kill us or carry us into exile to 
Babylon."

JER 43:4  So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers and all the 
people disobeyed the LORD'S command to stay in the land of Judah.

JER 43:5  Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers led away 
all the remnant of Judah who had come back to live in the land of Judah 
from all the nations where they had been scattered.

JER 43:6  They also led away all the men, women and children and the king's 
daughters whom Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard had left with 
Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and 
Baruch son of Neriah.

JER 43:7  So they entered Egypt in disobedience to the LORD and went as far 
as Tahpanhes.
