[:en]Johanan warned Gedaliah that Ismael was going to take his life and offered to kill him. But Gedaliah did not believe him. Later, while they were eating together, Ismael assassinated Gedaliah and killed all the Jews and Babylonian solders who were with Gedaliah. The then threw their bodies into the cistern and took all the rest of the people captive. So Johanan went to fight Ismael and rescued the captives. But Ishmael escaped and fled to the Ammonites. Johanan brought all the survivors to Egypt to escape the Babylonians.
