2 Kings 25:4-7

4The enemy broke through the city walls that night. All Judah’s soldiers left on the road of the gate between the two walls beside the king’s garden. While the Babylonians were attacking the city from all sides, the king took the road to the plain ⌞of Jericho⌟.

5The Babylonian army pursued King Zedekiah and caught up with him in the plain of Jericho. His entire army had deserted him.

6The Babylonians captured the king, brought him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and passed sentence on him.

7They slaughtered Zedekiah’s sons as he watched, and then they blinded Zedekiah. They put him in bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.
