41:17-18 The group led by Johanan headed south, past the ruins of Jerusalem to Geruth-kimham, a small village near Bethlehem. During this trip, the leaders decided that they would be safe from Babylonian reprisals if they fled to Egypt. The Babylonians were cruel, and no one trusted them to seek out the true culprit in Gedaliah’s death.
