Jeremiah 39:4-7
4When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, they 1fled and went out of the city at night by way of the king’s garden through the gate 2between the two walls; and he went out toward the 3Arabah.
5But the army of the 4Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the 5plains of Jericho; and they seized him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at 6Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence on him.
6Then the 7king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah 8before his eyes at Riblah; the king of Babylon also slew all the 9nobles of Judah.
7He then 10blinded Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in 11fetters of bronze to bring him to 12Babylon.
