The Fall Of Jerusalem

7 So all the soldiers brake away, and fled out of the city by night through the way of the port between the two walls by the king's garden. Now the Chaldeans had compassed the city round about; yet went these men their way toward the wilderness. 8 And so the Chaldeans followed upon them, and took Zedekiah the king in the field of Jericho, when his host was run from him. 9 So they carried the king away prisoner to Riblah, unto the king of Babylon in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
