September 16th is Gedaliah ( גְּדַלְיָּה )

According to the Hebrew Bible, Gedaliah (/ɡɛdəˈlaɪ.ə/ or /ɡɨˈdɑːljə/; Hebrew: גְּדַלְיָּה G'dalyyâh or גְּדַלְיָהוּ G'dalyyâhû, meaning Jah has become great)was appointed by Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon as governor of Yehud province,which was formed after the defeat of the Kingdom of Judah and the destruction of Jerusalem, in a part of the territory that previously formed the kingdom. He was supported by a Chaldean guard stationed at Mizpah.On hearing of the appointment, the Jews that had taken refuge in surrounding countries returned to Judah.

Gedaliah was the son of Ahikam (who saved the life of the prophet Jeremiah)and the grandson of Shaphan (who is mentioned in relation to the discovery of the scroll of Teaching that some scholars identify as the core of the book of Deuteronomy, a matter of some controversy among scholars).

He zealously began to encourage the people to cultivate the fields and vineyards, and thus lay the foundation of security. Many who had fled to neighboring lands during the war of destruction were attracted by the news of the revival of the community. They came to Gedaliah in Mizpah and were warmly welcomed by him.

Ishmael, and the ten men who were with him, murdered Gedaliah, together with most of the Jews who had joined him and many Babylonians whom Nebuchadnezzar had left with Gedaliah (Jeremiah 41:2-3). The remaining Jews feared the vengeance of Nebuchadnezzar (in view of the fact that his chosen ruler, Gedaliah, had been killed by a Jew) and fled to Egypt. Although the dates are not clear from the Bible, this probably happened about 582/1 BCE,[citation needed] some four to five years and three months after the destruction of Jerusalem and the First Temple in 586 BCE.
