2 Kings 25:3-7

3By the ninthH8672 day of the fourth monthH2320,1 the famineH7458 in the cityH5892 was so severeH2388 that the peopleH5971 of the landH776 hadH1961 noH3808 foodH3899. 4Then the cityH5892 was breachedH1234; and though the ChaldeansH3778H59212 had surroundedH5439 the cityH5892, allH3605 the menH582 of warH4421 fled by nightH3915 by wayH1870 of the gateH8179 betweenH996 the two wallsH2346 nearH5921 the king’sH4428 gardenH1588.

They headedH1980 towardH1870 the ArabahH6160,3 5but the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 the king and overtookH5381 himH853 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405, and his wholeH3605 armyH2428 desertedH6327 himH5921. 6The Chaldeans seizedH8610 the kingH4428 and brought him upH5927 toH413 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 at RiblahH7247, where they pronouncedH1696 judgmentH4941 on himH854. 7AndH853 they slaughteredH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869. ThenH853 they put outH5786 his eyesH5869, bound himH631 with bronze shacklesH5178, and took himH935 to BabylonH894.
