This Israelite general has already been mentioned briefly at the end of the Second Book of Kings, in the two previous chapters of Jeremiah (40-41) and in his story will conclude in the following chapter of Jeremiah (43). Johanan first appears as one of those Judean officers, apparently led by Ishmael son of Nethaniah, who came to Gedaliah after they heard that he had been appointed governor by the King of Babylon (see II Kings 25:23). This brief notice is repeated in Jeremiah 40:8, but then we learn that it was Johanan who, together with his troops, warns Gedaliah that Ishmael is planning to assassinate him. But Gedaliah replied to Jeremiah: \u201cWhat you are saying about Ishmael is not true!\u201d (Jeremiah 40:13-16). When Johanan hears of Gedaliah\u2019s assassination, he and his troops pursue Ishmael and rescues all those whom Ishmael had taken prisoner. Ishmael and eight of his men manage to escape and flee to the Ammonites. For fear of being erroneously implicated by the Babylonians in the assassination of Gedaliah, Johanan and all those with him set out to flee to Egypt (ch. 41).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our Chapter, Johanan and his followers approach Jeremiah, pleading with the prophet to pray for them and to ask God what they should do. After ten days, the reply comes insisting that they remain in the Land. Jeremiah relates that God says: \u201cI regret the punishment I have brought upon you. Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon\u2026for I am with you to save you\u201d (7-12). Jeremiah\u2019s prophecy continues: \u201cO remnant of Judah! Thus said the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: If you turn your faces toward Egypt, and you go and sojourn there\u2026there you shall die\u201d (15-16). But, instead of accepting the prophecy for which they pleaded and promised to accept, these remaining Judeans accuse Jeremiah of lying, having been influenced by his secretary Baruch. They then flee to Egypt, apparently taking Jeremiah with them! See Jeremiah 43:1-7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A midrashic tradition (Mekhilta de-Rabbi Yishmael, Beshallah 2 on Exodus 14:13 and parallels)\u00a0 comments that the God warned Israel not to return to Egypt: \u201cThe Lord has warned you: You must not go back that way again\u201d (Deuteronomy 17:16).\u00a0 Nevertheless, in three instances they did return to Egypt and each time \u201cthey fell\u201d. This occurred in the days of Sennacherib (see Isaiah 31:1), in the days of Johanan ben Kareah: \u201cIf you turn your faces toward Egypt, and you go and sojourn there, the sword that you fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt\u201d (Jeremiah 42:15-16) and again in post-Biblical times in the days of Trajan [during the \u201cKitos War\u201d 115\u2013117 CE].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talmud Yerushalmi Sanhedrin 10:3 (29b-c) states that those who joined with Yohanan ben Kareah in leaving the Land of Israel for Egypt, despite Jeremiah\u2019s warning, have no place in the world to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>image:
