2 Kings 25:4-10
4 (A)Then the city was broken into, and all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls beside (B)the king’s garden, though the Chaldeans were all around the city. And (a)they went by way of the Arabah.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho and all his army was scattered from him.
6 Then (C)they captured the king and (D)brought him to the king of Babylon at (E)Riblah, and (b)he passed sentence on him.
7 (F)They slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, then (G)put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him with bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon.
Jerusalem Burned and Plundered
8 (H)Now on the seventh day of the (I)fifth month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
9 (J)He burned the house of the Lord, (K)the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every great house he burned with fire.
10 So all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard (L)broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
