1 En el noveno a帽o de Sedequ铆as rey de Jud谩, en el mes d茅cimo, vino Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia con todo su ej茅rcito contra Jerusal茅n, y la cercaron.
2 Y en el und茅cimo a帽o de Sedequ铆as, en el mes cuarto, a los nueve del mes, fue rota la ciudad;
3 y entraron todos los pr铆ncipes del rey de Babilonia, y asentaron a la puerta del medio: Nergal-sarezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsequim, y Rabsaris, Nergal-sarezer, Rabmag, y todos los dem谩s pr铆ncipes del rey de Babilonia.
4 Y fue que vi茅ndolos Sedequ铆as, rey de Jud谩, y todos los hombres de guerra, huyeron, y salieron de noche de la ciudad por el camino de la huerta del rey, por la puerta entre los dos muros; y sali贸 el rey por el camino del desierto.
5 Mas el ej茅rcito de los caldeos los sigui贸, y alcanzaron a Sedequ铆as en los llanos de Jeric贸; y le tomaron, y le hicieron subir a Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, a Ribla, en tierra de Hamat, y le sentenci贸.
6 Y degoll贸 el rey de Babilonia a los hijos de Sedequ铆as en su presencia en Ribla, haciendo asimismo degollar el rey de Babilonia a todos los nobles de Jud谩.
7 Y sac贸 los ojos al rey Sedequ铆as, y le aprision贸 con grillos para llevarle a Babilonia.
