2 Kings 25:4-7
New King James Version
4 Then (A)the city wall was broken through, and all the men of war fled at night by way of the gate between two walls, which was by the king’s garden, even though the Chaldeans were still encamped all around against the city. And (B)the king[a] went by way of the [b]plain. 5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. All his army was scattered from him. 6 So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon (C)at Riblah, and they pronounced judgment on him. 7 Then they killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, (D)put[c] out the eyes of Zedekiah, bound him with bronze fetters, and took him to Babylon.
