⁵ But the army of the ^(A)Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the ^(B)plains of Jericho; and they took him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at ^(C)Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he ^[a]passed sentence on him. ⁶ Then the ^(D)king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah ^(E)before his eyes at Riblah; the king of Babylon also slaughtered all the ^(F)nobles of Judah. ⁷ He then ^(G)blinded Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in ^(H)shackles of bronze to bring him to ^(I)Babylon. ⁸ The Chaldeans also ^(J)burned the king’s palace and the houses of the people with fire, and they ^(K)tore down the walls of Jerusalem. ⁹ And as for the rest of the people who were left in the city, the ^(L)deserters who had deserted to him and ^(M)the rest of the people who remained, ^(N)Nebuzaradan the ^(O)captain of the bodyguard took them into exile in Babylon.
