Verse 8

Ten of the men from the north convinced Ishmael to let them live by claiming that they had a hidden cache of food stored in a field. The Israelites frequently used dry wells and cisterns as underground silos. [Note: Harrison, Jeremiah and . . ., p. 162.] Apparently Ishmael needed these supplies and so allowed these 10 men to live, at least until he had confiscated their food.
