Jeremiah 52:7-11

7Then the cityH5892 was breachedH1234; and though the ChaldeansH3778H59211 had surroundedH5439 the cityH5892, allH3605 the menH582 of warH4421 fledH1272 the cityH5892 by nightH3915 by wayH1870 of the gateH8179 betweenH996 the two wallsH2346 nearH5921 the king’sH4428 gardenH1588.

They headedH1980 towardH1870 the ArabahH6160,2 8but the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 the kingH4428 and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405, and his wholeH3605 armyH2428 desertedH6327 himH5921.

9The Chaldeans seizedH8610 the kingH4428 and brought him upH5927 toH413 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, where he pronouncedH1696 judgmentH4941 onH854 Zedekiah.

10There at RiblahH7247 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slaughteredH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and he alsoH1571 killedH7819 allH3605 the officialsH8269 of JudahH3063. 11Then he put outH5786 Zedekiah’sH6667 eyesH5869, boundH631 himH4428 with bronze shacklesH5178, and took himH935 to BabylonH894, where he kept himH5414 in custodyH1004H6486 untilH5704 his dyingH4194 dayH3117.
