2 Kings 25:7-11

2 Kings 25:7-11 CSB

They slaughtered Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes. Finally, the king of Babylon blinded Zedekiah, bound him in bronze chains, and took him to Babylon.  On  the seventh day of the fifth month #— #which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon #— #Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guards, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.  He burned the LORD’s temple,  the king’s palace,  and all the houses of Jerusalem; he burned down  all the great houses. The whole Chaldean army with the captain of the guards tore down the walls  surrounding Jerusalem. Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guards, deported the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the population.
