← 2 Kings 25:4	2 Kings 25:5 (KJV)	2 Kings 25:6 →
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the city round about:) and [the king] went the way toward the plain.	And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.	So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
