Jeremiah 39:4-7

English Standard Version

⁴ When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled, going out of the city at night by way of the king's garden through the gate between the two walls; and they went toward ^(A)the Arabah. ⁵ But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in ^(B)the plains of Jericho. And when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, at ^(C)Riblah, in the land of Hamath; ^(D)and he passed sentence on him. ⁶ The king of Babylon ^(E)slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah at ^(F)Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon ^(G)slaughtered all the nobles of Judah. ^7 (H)He put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him in chains to take him to Babylon.
