2 Kings 25:4-6
Evangelical Heritage Version
4 Then the city wall was breached, and all the soldiers fled toward the Arabah through the gate that was between the two walls near the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans[a] were surrounding the city. 5 But the Chaldean army pursued the king. They caught him in the Arabah near Jericho. His whole army was scattered away from him. 6 So they seized the king. They brought him to the king of Babylon in Riblah, and a sentence was pronounced on him.
