5 But the army of the Kasdim pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Yericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

6 Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Bavel to Rivlah; and they gave judgment on him.

7 They killed the sons of Tzidkiyahu before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Tzidkiyahu, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Bavel.

8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nevukhadnetztzar, king of Bavel, came Nevuzar'adan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Bavel, to Yerushalayim.

9 He burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Yerushalayim, even every great house, burnt he with fire.
