Jeremiah 39:5-9

5However, the Chaldean army pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They arrested him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon’s king, at Riblah in the land of Hamath. The king passed sentence on him there.

6At Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, and he also slaughtered all Judah’s nobles.

7Then he blinded Zedekiah and put him in bronze chains to take him to Babylon.

8The Chaldeans next burned down the king’s palace and the people’s houses and tore down the walls of Jerusalem.

9Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guards, deported the rest of the people to Babylon — those who had remained in the city and those deserters who had defected to him along with the rest of the people who remained.
