Jeremiah 39:5-7

New Living Translation

⁵ But the Babylonian^[a] troops chased them and overtook Zedekiah on the plains of Jericho. They captured him and took him to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who was at Riblah in the land of Hamath. There the king of Babylon pronounced judgment upon Zedekiah. ⁶ The king of Babylon made Zedekiah watch as he slaughtered his sons at Riblah. The king of Babylon also slaughtered all the nobles of Judah. ⁷ Then he gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in bronze chains to lead him away to Babylon.
