Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass in the seventh month,.... Not of Gedaliah's government, but of the year, the month Tisri or September, near two months after the destruction of Jerusalem; the Jews say fifty two days after it; of the death of Gedaliah, and the man that slew him, as here related, :- :- :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jeremiah gives this history with much fullness of detail Jer. 41–43.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 25:25. Smote Gedaliah — This was at an entertainment which Gedaliah had made for them; see Jeremiah 41:1, c. He was not content with this murder, but slew fourscore more, who were coming with offerings to the temple, and took several as prisoners, among whom were some of the king's daughters and set off to go to the Ammonites: but Johanan, the son of Careah, hearing of these outrages, raised a number of men, and pursued Ishmael upon which Ishmael's prisoners immediately turned and joined Johanan; so that he, and eight of his accomplices, with difficulty escaped to the Ammonites. See Jeremiah 41:1, c. Baalis, king of the Ammonites, had sent Ishmael to murder Gedaliah and of this he was informed by Johanan, who offered to prevent it, by taking away the life of this murderer. But Gedaliah could not believe that he harboured such foul designs, and therefore took no precaution to save his life. See Jeremiah 40:13-16.
