7 And the city was broken through, and all the men of war fled and went out from the city at night by way of the gate between the two walls that was by the garden of the king—and the Chaldeans were upon the city all around. They went by way of the Arabah, 8 and the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him. 9 And they took the king, and brought up him to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he spoke against him the judgment. 10 And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and all the officials of Judah he killed in Riblah. 11 And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and he bound him in bronze fetters, and the king of Babylon took him to Babylon, and put him in the house of oversight until the day of his death.
