Jeremiah 39:3-5
New King James Version
3 (A)Then all the princes of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, [a]Rabsaris, Nergal-Sarezer, [b]Rabmag, with the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 (B)So it was, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled and went out of the city by night, by way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls. And he went out by way of the [c]plain. 5 But the Chaldean army pursued them and (C)overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And when they had captured him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to (D)Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him.
