2 Kings 25:1-9

11Now in the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, 2Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, camped against it and 3built a siege wall all around 4it. 2So the city was under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 3On the ninth day of the fourth month 5the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. 46Then the city was broken into, and all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls beside 7the king’s garden, though the Chaldeans were all around the city. And 8they went by way of the Arabah. 5But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho and all his army was scattered from him. 6Then 9they captured the king and 10brought him to the king of Babylon at 11Riblah, and 12he passed sentence on him. 713They slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, then 14put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him with bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon.

815Now on the seventh day of the 16fifth month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 917He burned the house of the Lord, 18the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every great house he burned with fire.
