4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the ninth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they made a rampart round it, and built a wall round about it with large stones.
5 So the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Sedekias,
6 on the ninth day of the month, and then the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
7 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king's garden; and the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way leading to the wilderness.
8 But the host of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the country beyond Jericho; and all his servants were dispersed from about him.
9 And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Deblatha, and he judged him.
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedekias before his eyes; and he slew all the princes of Juda in Deblatha.
11 And he put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters; and the king of Babylon brought him to Babylon, and put him into the grinding-house, until the day when he died.
12 And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nabuzardan the captain of the guard, who waited on the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;
13 and he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of the city, and every great house he burnt with fire.
14 And the host of the Chaldeans that was with the captain of the guard pulled down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.
