Ishamel in Jeremiah Book

 

Based on the biblical account in Jeremiah 40-41, 

Ishmael (son of Nethaniah), a member of the royal family of Judah, committed several serious sins and crimes following the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians. 

His actions are characterized by treachery, mass murder, and rebellion against God-ordained authority. 
Key Sins and Crimes of Ishmael (Son of Nethaniah)
  • The Murder of Gedaliah (Treason): After the Babylonians appointed Gedaliah as governor over the remaining people in Judah, Ishmael conspired against him. Ishmael and his men went to Mizpah and, while dining with Gedaliah, murdered him, his entourage, and the Babylonian soldiers present.
  • Massacre of Innocent Pilgrims: The day after murdering the governor, Ishmael encountered 80 men coming from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria to bring offerings to the house of the Lord. He tricked them into coming to him, then murdered 70 of them and threw their bodies into a cistern.
  • Kidnapping and Hostage-Taking: Ishmael took the remaining people in Mizpah, including the daughters of King Zedekiah, as captives and intended to take them to the Ammonites.
  • Rebellion Against God's Decree: His actions were a direct defiance of the prophetic command to submit to Babylonian rule for a designated period. 
Key Takeaways from His Actions
  • Treachery: Ishmael utilized deceit, acting as a friend to Gedaliah before killing him, and using lies to trap the pilgrims.
  • Violent Rampage: His actions were not just political, but a senseless, violent rampage that left the land of Judah in further chaos and terror.
  • Divine Justice: Despite his initial success, Ishmael’s rebellion failed, and he was forced to flee to the Ammonites, abandoning his captives. 
Note: The Ishmael mentioned in these specific, serious crimes is Ishmael the son of Nethaniah (found in Jeremiah 41), who is different from Ishmael the son of Abraham and Hagar (found in Genesis).

This passage highlights that divine honor is reserved solely for God. While God shares His glory with Jesus (John 17:22), the core message is that glory belongs to the Creator alone. Key insights on "glory" in the Bible: Exclusive Ownership: God states, "My glory I give to no other" (Isaiah 42:8, ESV). Against Idolatry: This declarati...
