2 Kings 25:4-7 ▼

4 The city was breached, and the entire army left during the night through the gate that stood between the two walls beside the royal garden, even though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city. They escaped through the Arabah,

5 but the Chaldean army pursued the king and overtook him in the Jericho plains, where his entire army was scattered.

6 The Chaldeans captured the king and brought him to Riblah, where the king of Babylon determined his sentence.

7 They executed Zedekiah's sons in his presence, blinded Zedekiah, bound him with bronze chains, and transported him to Babylon.
