Contextual Overview
1 In the seventh month Yishma‘el the son of N'tanyahu, the son of Elishama, of royal blood and one of the chief officials of the king, came with ten men to G'dalyahu in Mitzpah. While eating a meal together there in Mitzpah, 2 Yishma‘el and the ten men with him rose and attacked G'dalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shafan, struck him with their swords, and assassinated the man whom the king of Bavel had appointed governor of the land. 3 Yishma‘el also murdered all the Judeans who were with G'dalyahu at Mitzpah, as well as the Kasdim soldiers they found there. 4 The next day, before his assassination of G'dalyahu had become known, 5 eighty men from Sh'khem, Shiloh and Shomron came with beards shaved off, clothes torn and gashes on their bodies; they had grain offerings and frankincense with them to present in the house of Adonai . 6 Yishma‘el the son of N'tanyahu went out from Mitzpah to meet them, weeping all along the way; on meeting them, he said to them, "Come to G'dalyahu the son of Achikam." 7 But once they were inside the city, Yishma‘el the son of N'tanyahu and the men with him slaughtered them and threw them into the cistern. 8 However, ten of them said to Yishma‘el, "Don't kill us, for we have stores of wheat, barley, olive oil and honey hidden in the field." So he relented, and did not kill them along with their comrades. 9 The cistern in which Yishma‘el threw the corpses of the men he had murdered with G'dalyahu was the one Asa the king had made in fear of Ba‘asha king of Isra'el; it was this cistern that Yishma‘el the son of N'tanyahu filled with the slaughtered men. 10 Then Yishma‘el carried off captive the rest of the people in Mitzpah — the king's daughters and all the people left in Mitzpah, whom N'vuzar'adan the commander of the guard had committed to the care of G'dalyahu the son of Achikam. Yishma‘el the son of N'tanyahu carried them off captive and left to cross over to the people of ‘Amon.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, the second day after he had slain Gedaliah,.... That is, the day following, for it was in the night, as Josephus relates, as before observed, the murder was committed:
and no man knew [it]; not any out of the city, or in remote parts; for those that were in the city must be sensible of it; but as yet the report of it had not reached the neighbourhood, and much less distant parts; this is observed on account of the following story, and to show how easily the persons after mentioned were drawn in by Ishmael.
