In the
ninth year of
Zedekiah king of
Judah, in the
tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon and all his
army against
Jerusalem, and they
besieged it.

And in the
eleventh* year of
Zedekiah, in the
fourth month, the
ninth day of the
month, the

And all the
princes of the
king of
Babylon came
in, and
sat in the
middle gate, even
Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the
residue of the
princes of the
king of
Babylon.

And it came to pass, that when
Zedekiah the
king of
Judah saw them, and all the
men of
war, then they
fled, and went
forth out of the
city by
night, by the
way of the
king's garden, by the
gate betwixt the two
walls: and he went
out the
way of the
plain.

But the
Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and
overtook Zedekiah in the
plains of
Jericho: and when they had
taken him, they brought him
up to
Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon to
Riblah in the
land of
Hamath, where he
gave judgment upon him.

Then the
king of
Babylon slew the
sons of
Zedekiah in
Riblah before his
eyes: also the
king of
Babylon slew all the
nobles of
Judah.

Moreover he put
out Zedekiah's eyes, and
bound him with
chains, to
carry him to
Babylon.
