Jeremiah 52:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 52:9

7 Then the city wall was broken through, and all the men of war fled and went out of the city at night by way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden, even though the Chaldeans were near the city all around. And they went by way of the¹ plain.

8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. All his army was scattered from him.

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.
