4And when Zedekiah king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, they fled and went out by night from the city by way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out by way of the Arabah.

5But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They seized him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence on him.
