^21 (A)Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials I will also hand over to their enemies and to those who seek their lives, and to the army of the king of Babylon which has ^(B)withdrawn from you.

⁵ But the army of the ^(A)Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the ^(B)plains of Jericho; and they took him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at ^(C)Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he ^[a]passed sentence on him. ⁶ Then the ^(D)king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah ^(E)before his eyes at Riblah; the king of Babylon also slaughtered all the ^(F)nobles of Judah. ⁷ He then ^(G)blinded Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in ^(H)shackles of bronze to bring him to ^(I)Babylon.
