And when they had captured him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to (C)Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him. 6 Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his (D)eyes in Riblah; the king of Babylon also killed all the (E)nobles of Judah. 7 Moreover (F)he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with bronze [b]fetters to carry him off to Babylon.
