And when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, they ^(C1)fled and left the city at night by way of the king's garden through the gate ^(C2)between the two walls; and he went out toward the ^(F1)Arabah.

But the army of the ^(C1)Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the ^(C2)plains of Jericho; and they took him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at ^(C3)Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he ^(F1)passed sentence on him.

Then the ^(C1)king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah ^(C2)before his eyes at Riblah; the king of Babylon also slaughtered all the ^(C3)nobles of Judah.

He then ^(C1)blinded Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in ^(C2)shackles of bronze to bring him to ^(C3)Babylon.
