2And on the ninthH8672 dayH2320 of the fourthH7243 monthH2320 of Zedekiah’sH6667 eleventhH6249H6240 yearH8141, the cityH5892 was breachedH1234.
3Then allH3605 the officialsH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 enteredH935 and satH3427 in the MiddleH8432 GateH8179: Nergal-sharezerH5371 of SamgarH5562, Nebo-sarsekimH5562H83101 the RabsarisH7249,2 Nergal-sharezerH5371 the RabmagH7248,3 and allH3605 the restH7611 of the officialsH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
WhenH834 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and allH3605 the soldiersH582H4421 saw themH7200, they fledH1272. They leftH3318 the cityH5892 at nightH3915H4480 by wayH1870 of the king’sH4428 gardenH1588, through the gateH8179 betweenH996 the two wallsH2346, and they went outH3318 along the routeH1870 to the ArabahH6160.4 5But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH37785 pursuedH7291 themH310 and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405. They seizedH3947 himH853 and brought him upH5927 toH413 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, where he pronouncedH1696 judgmentH4941 on himH854.
6There at RiblahH7247 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slaughteredH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and heH4428H894 also killedH7819 allH3605 the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063. 7Then he put outH5786 Zedekiah’sH6667 eyesH5869 and bound himH631 with bronze chainsH5178 to takeH935 himH853 to BabylonH894.
