Jeremiah 52:4-11

Leeser(i) 4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and they encamped against it, and built against it works of attack round about. 5 So the city was placed in a state of siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 6 And in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, when the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land: 7 The city was broken in, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was near the king’s garden; while the Chaldeans were round about the city;and they went by the way of the plain. 8 But 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 caught the king, and they brought him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Chamath: and he called him to account. 10 And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: and also all the princes of Judah did he slaughter in Riblah. 11 And the eyes of Zedekiah did he blind; and the king of Babylon bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in the ward-house till the day of his death.
