Jeremiah 39:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ When King Zedekiah and his soldiers realized that the city was lost, they fled during the night, going out through the gate between the two walls back of the palace garden and across the fields toward the Jordan Valley. ⁵ But the Babylonians chased the king and caught him on the plains of Jericho and brought him to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who was at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment upon him. ⁶ The king of Babylon made Zedekiah watch as they killed his children and all the nobles of Judah.
