*
Now it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign ,
in the tenth month ,
on the tenth day of the month ,
that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and encamped against it ;
and they built a siege wall against it all around .
*
So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah .
*
By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine had become so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land .
*
Then the city wall was broken through ,
and all the men of war fled at night by way of the gate between two walls ,
which was by the king '
s garden ,
even though the Chaldeans were still encamped all around against the city .
And the king went by way of the plain .
*
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king ,
and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho .
All his army was scattered from him .
*
So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah ,
and they pronounced judgment on him .
*
Then they killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes ,
put out the eyes of Zedekiah ,
bound him with bronze fetters ,
and took him to Babylon .
*
And in the fifth month ,
on the seventh day of the month (
which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ),
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard ,
a servant of the king of Babylon ,
came to Jerusalem .
*
He burned the house of the LORD and the king '
s house ;
all the houses of Jerusalem ,
that is ,
all the houses of the great ,
he burned with fire .
