9 aSo they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment on him.
10 aThen the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. And he killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11 He also aput out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in1 bronze fetters, took him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
