3Then allH3605 the 2officialsH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 inH935 and satH3427 downH3427 at the 3MiddleH8432 GateH8179: Nergal-sar-ezerH5371, Samgar-nebuH5562, Sar-sekimH8310 the 4Rab-sarisH7249, Nergal-sar-ezerH5371 the 5Rab-magH7248, and allH3605 the restH7611 of the officialsH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
4And whenH3512 ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421 sawH7200 them, they 6fledH1272 and leftH3318 the cityH5892 at nightH3915 by wayH1870 of the king’sH4428 gardenH1588 through the gateH8179 7betweenH996 the two wallsH2346; and he wentH3318 outH3318 towardH1870 the 8ArabahH6160.
5But the armyH2428 of the 9ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 them and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the 10plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405; and they tookH3947 him and broughtH5927 him upH5927 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 at 11RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, and he 12passedH1696 sentenceH1696 on him.
6Then the 13kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slaughteredH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 14before his eyesH5869 at RiblahH7247; the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 also slaughteredH7819 allH3605 the 15noblesH2715 of JudahH3063.
7He then 16blindedH5786 Zedekiah’sH6667 eyesH5869 and boundH631 him in 17shacklesH5178 ofH5178 bronzeH5178 to bringH935 him to 18BabylonH894.
8The ChaldeansH3778 also 19burnedH8313 the king’sH4428 palaceH1004 and the housesH1004 of the peopleH5971 with fireH784, and they 20toreH5422 downH5422 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389.
