2
So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3
On the ninth day of the [fourth] month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king`s garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about); and [the king] went by the way of the Arabah.
5
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
6
Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment on him.
7
They killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
