Jeremiah 39:2-9 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth of the month, the city was broken up.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth of the month, the city was broken up. ³ And all the rulers of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, chief of the eunuchs, Nergal-sharezer, chief soothsayer, and all the rest of the rulers of the king of Babylon. ⁴ And it happened when Zedekiah, the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went out from the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls. And he went out the way of the plain. ⁵ But the Chaldean army pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And they took him, and made him go up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment on him. ⁶ Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes in Riblah. Also the king of Babylon killed all the rulers of Judah. ⁷ And he blinded Zedekiah's eyes and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon. ⁸ And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. ⁹ Then Nebuzaradan the chief of the executioners exiled to Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to him with the rest of the people that remained.
