Commentaire sur Jérémie 41:3
וְאֵ֣ת כָּל־הַיְּהוּדִ֗ים אֲשֶׁר־הָי֨וּ אִתּ֤וֹ אֶת־גְּדַלְיָ֙הוּ֙ בַּמִּצְפָּ֔ה וְאֶת־הַכַּשְׂדִּ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִמְצְאוּ־שָׁ֑ם אֵ֚ת אַנְשֵׁ֣י הַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה הִכָּ֖ה יִשְׁמָעֵֽאל׃
De même tous les Judéens qui entouraient Ghedalia à Miçpa, ainsi que les Chaldéens qui s’y trouvaientles gens de guerre,Ismaël les massacra.
Malbim on Jeremiah
And all of the Jews that were with him, meaning, [only] the Jews that were there for the purpose of Gedaliah, his men of war. Therefore it said with Gedaliah. For he did not kill the Jews who [simply] lived there, but he killed all of the Chaldeans that were there. It specifies that he smote the men of war and the Chaldeans were all men of war; therefore it said, '[the Chaldeans] who were found there.' But of the Jews, he only killed the men of war and the rest of the people he left alive.
