Jeremiah 52:6-11

New American Standard Bible

⁶ On the ninth day of the ^(A)fourth month the ^(B)famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. ⁷ Then the city was ^(C)breached, and all the ^(D)warriors fled and left the city at night by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the king’s garden, though the Chaldeans were ^[a](E)all around the city. And they went by way of the Arabah. ⁸ But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and ^(F)overtook Zedekiah in the ^[b]desert plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him. ⁹ Then they captured the king and ^(G)brought him up to the king of Babylon at ^(H)Riblah in the land of ^(I)Hamath, and he ^[c]passed sentence on him. ¹⁰ And the king of Babylon ^(J)slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also slaughtered all the commanders of Judah in Riblah. ¹¹ Then he ^(K)blinded the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him with bronze shackles and brought him to Babylon and put him in prison until the day of his death.
