4 Y fué que viéndolos Sedechîas, rey de Judá, y todos los hombres de guerra, huyeron, y saliéronse de noche de la ciudad por el camino de la huerta del rey, por la puerta entre los dos muros: y salió [el rey] por el camino del desierto.

5 Mas el ejército de los Caldeos los siguió, y alcanzaron á Sedechîas en los llanos de Jericó; y tomáronle, é hiciéronle subir á Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, á Ribla, en tierra de Hamath, y sentencióle.

6 Y degolló el rey de Babilonia los hijos de Sedechîas á su presencia en Ribla, haciendo asimismo degollar el rey de Babilonia á todos los nobles de Judá.

7 Y sacó los ojos al rey Sedechîas, y aprisionóle con grillos para llevarle á Babilonia.

8 Y los Caldeos pusieron á fuego la casa del rey y las casas del pueblo, y derribaron los muros de Jerusalem.
