Then they headed for the Jordan Valley.
39:5 But the Babylonian
army chased after them. They caught up with Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho
and captured him.
They took him to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon at Riblah
in the territory of Hamath and Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him there.

39:7 Then he had Zedekiah’s eyes put out and had him bound in chains
to be led off to Babylon.
