Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies,.... Not only of those seventy men of Samaria, c. but

of the men whom he had slain because of Gedaliah because of their attachment to him: or, "by the hand of Gedaliah" k; not by him, as an instrument; unless, as Jarchi observes, because he rejected the advice of Johanan, and provided not for his safety, and his people, it was as if they were slain by him l; rather the sense is, that they were slain by the side of him, or in the, place where he was, or along with him m; see a like phrase in Jeremiah 38:10; now both the one and the other were cast into one pit: and this

[was] that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel; which was either a ditch that was cast up against the wall that went round the city; or a large pit or well in the midst of it, to hold water in it; and this was made by King Asa, either when he built and fortified Mizpah, 1 Kings 15:22; or, as the Targum here, when Baasha king of Israel besieged it; which he made that he might be provided for with water during the siege; or to hide himself in it; or stop the enemy from proceeding any further, should he enter:

[and] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with [them that were] slain; which shows it rather to be a pit or well within the city than a ditch about it; since it was filled with the slain, with those that were slain with Gedaliah, and those seventy other persons; and by which he made the well useless to the inhabitants hereafter.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Because of Gedaliah - By the side “of Gedaliah.” Ishmael now cast beside Gedaliah’s body those of the pilgrims.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 41:9. Now the pit - was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha — See 1 Kings 15:22. Asa made this cistern as a reservoir for water for the supply of the place; for he built and fortified Mizpah at the time that he was at war with Baasha, king of Israel.
