* to go.
As Johanan and the other princes had taken a decided part
against Ishmael, they had no sufficient reason to fear that
the Chaldeans would revenge on them the murder of Gedaliah;
but perhaps Johanan was unwilling to be superseded in the
command which he had rightly assumed, and so used his
influence to induce the whole company to take refuge in Egypt;
and their old attachment to the Egyptians rendered them more
ready to concur in this ruinous measure.
