4And the citie was broken vp, and all the men of armes fled by night by a way through a gate which is betweene two walles by the kinges garden (the Chaldees lying about the citie:) And the king went the way toward the playne.
5And the souldiers of the Chaldees folowed after the king, and toke him in the playne of Iericho: and all his army were scattered away from him.
6So they toke the king, and brought him to Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon to Ribla, where they gaue iudgement vpon him.
7And they slue the sonnes of Zedekia before his eyes, and he put out the eyes of Zedekia, and fettered him with chaynes, and carryed him to Babylon.
8And the seuenth day of the fifth moneth (which is the nineteenth yere of king Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon) came Nebusaradan a seruaunt of the king of Babylon & chiefe captayne of the men of warre, vnto Hierusalem:
9And burnt the house of the Lord, and the kinges house, and all the houses of Hierusalem, and all great houses burnt he with fire.
10And all the souldiers of the Chaldees that were with the chiefe captayne of the men of warre, brake downe the walles of Hierusalem rounde about.
11But the rest of the people that were left in the citie, and them that were fled to the king of Babylon, with the remnaunt of the common people, did Nabusaradan the chiefe captayne of the men of warre carry away.
12But the captaine of the souldiers left of the poore of the land, to dresse the vines and to tyll the grounde.
