Verse 5
Jeremiah 40:5
World English Bible
5
Now while he had not yet gone back, “Go back then,” he said, “to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go.”
So the captain of the guard gave him food and a present, and let him go.

And still, he will not return and will turn back to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon appointed over the cities of Judah, and he will stay with him among the people, or to whatever is right in your eyes to go; and he gave to him a great feast of butchers and provisions, and he sent him away.
