XVII. of royal blood, Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, had escaped across the Jordan, and had found shelter with the Ammonite king, Baalis. The rest had preferred to flee to Egypt, whither several families had already emigrated, because, as Hophra was an ally of their country, they hoped to receive his protection.
