2 Kings 25:4-7

4Then a section of the city wall was broken down. Since the city was surrounded by the Babylonians, the soldiers waited for nightfall and escaped through the gate between the two walls behind the king’s garden. Then they headed toward the Jordan Valley.

5But the Babylonian troops chased the king and overtook him on the plains of Jericho, for his men had all deserted him and scattered.

6They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment upon Zedekiah.

7They made Zedekiah watch as they slaughtered his sons. Then they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and led him away to Babylon.
