2 Kings 25:1-7
Nebuchadnezzar Besieges Jerusalem

1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.

1:

2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

2:

3 And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

3:

4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the city round about:) and [the king] went the way toward the plain.

4:

5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.

5:

6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.

6:

7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.

7:
