Jeremiah 39:5-9

5But the army of the 1Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the 2plains of Jericho; and they seized him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at 3Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence on him.

6Then the 4king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah 5before his eyes at Riblah; the king of Babylon also slew all the 6nobles of Judah.

7He then 7blinded Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in 8fetters of bronze to bring him to 9Babylon.

8The Chaldeans also 10burned with fire the king’s palace and the houses of the people, and they 11broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

9As for the rest of the people who were left in the city, the 12 13deserters who had gone over to him and 14the rest of the people who remained, 15Nebuzaradan the 16captain of the bodyguard carried them into exile in Babylon.
