2 Kings 25:1-7

11Now in the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, 2Nebuchadnezzar the 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 that were 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 up to the king of Babylon at 11Riblah, and he 12passed sentence on him. 7And 13they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, then 14put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him with bronze shackles, and brought him to Babylon.
