And ▼▼As in some mss and ancient versions; MT he
they went by way of the Arabah. 5But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him. 6Then ithey captured the king and jbrought him up to the king of Babylon at kRiblah, and he ▼▼Lit spoke judgment with him
passed sentence on him. 7And mthey slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, then nput out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him with bronze shackles, and brought him to Babylon.
