4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war
fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which
is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees
were against the city round about:) and
the king went the way toward the plain.
5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh
day of the month, which
is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great
man's house burnt he with fire.
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that
were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
