Jeremiah 39:5-9

5But the army of the 1Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the 2plains of Jericho; and they took him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at 3Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he 4passed sentence on him.

6Then the 5king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah 6before his eyes at Riblah; the king of Babylon also slaughtered all the 7nobles of Judah.

7He then 8blinded Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in 9shackles of bronze to bring him to 10Babylon.

8The Chaldeans also 11burned the king’s palace and the houses of the people with fire, and they 12tore down the walls of Jerusalem.

9And as for the rest of the people who were left in the city, the 13deserters who had deserted to him and 14the rest of the people who remained, 15Nebuzaradan the 16captain of the bodyguard took them into exile in Babylon.
