2 Kings 25:4-7 ▼

4 Then the city was broken into, and all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls beside the king’s garden, though the Chaldeans were all around the city. And they went by way of the Arabah.

5 But the military force of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho and all his military force was scattered from him.

6 Then they seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they spoke their judgment on him.

7 And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; then he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him with bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon.
