^21 (A)Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials I will give into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon which has ^(B)gone away from you.

⁵ But the army of the ^(A)Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the ^(B)plains of Jericho; and they seized him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at ^(C)Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence on him. ⁶ Then the ^(D)king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah ^(E)before his eyes at Riblah; the king of Babylon also slew all the ^(F)nobles of Judah. ⁷ He then ^(G)blinded Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in ^(H)fetters of bronze to bring him to ^(I)Babylon.
