Jeremiah 39:3-5

3Then all the 1officials of the king of Babylon came in and sat down at the 2Middle Gate: Nergal-sar-ezer, Samgar-nebu, Sar-sekim the 3Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the 4Rab-mag, and all the rest of the officials of the king of Babylon.

4And when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, they 5fled and left the city at night by way of the king’s garden through the gate 6between the two walls; and he went out toward the 7Arabah.

5But the army of the 8Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the 9plains of Jericho; and they took him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at 10Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he 11passed sentence on him.
