5But the Chaldeans’H3778 armyH2428 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and when they had takenH3947 him, they brought him upH5927 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, where he gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him.1 6Then the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 in RiblahH7247 before his eyesH5869: also the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 all the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063. 7Moreover he put outH5786 Zedekiah’sH6667 eyesH5869, and boundH631 him with chainsH5178, to carryH935 him to BabylonH894.2

8And the ChaldeansH3778 burnedH8313 the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of the peopleH5971, with fireH784, and brake downH5422 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389. 9Then Nebuzar–adanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 into BabylonH894 the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the cityH5892, and those that fell awayH5307, that fellH5307 to him, with the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604.3
