5 But the army of the Chaldeans (the Babylonians) pursued them and overtook Zedekiah (YHWH is righteous) in the plains of Jericho (city of palms). They seized him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar (may Nebo protect the crown) king of Babylon (confusion by mixing) at Riblah (fertility) in the land of Hamath (fortress), where he pronounced judgment on him. 6 There at Riblah (fertility) the king of Babylon (confusion by mixing) slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah (YHWH is righteous) before his eyes, and he also killed all the nobles of Judah (praised).
