Jeremias 52:9 In-Context

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 to the wilderness.

8 But the host of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the beyond Jericho; and all his servants were dispersed from 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.
