2Ki 25:3-10:
3 ⇔The people didn’t have enough to eat and the famine became severe. 4 Then the Babylonians began breaking into the city, but the local fighters sneaked out at night through a gate between two walls near the king’s garden and escaped down to the desert plain. 5 However, the Babylonian soldiers chased after the king and they overtook him on the Yeriho (Jericho) plains, and his army scattered. 6 King Tsidkiyah was captured and taken to the Babylonian king at Rivlah, where he was sentenced—7 He was forced to watch as his sons were slaughtered, then his eyes were gouged out and he was taken to Bavel (Babylon) restrained with two bronze chains.
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month of Babylonian King Nevukadnetsar’s (Nebuchadnezzar’s) nineteenth year as king, his servant Nevuzar-Adan, who was his chief bodyguard, went to Yerushalem (Jerusalem). 9 He set fire to Yahweh’s temple and the palace, and all of Yerushalem’s houses, so no important building remained. 10 Then the army under the command of Nevuzar-Adan tore down the walls surrounding Yerushalem.
Jer 39:2-8:
2 On the ninth day of the fourth month of Tsidkiyah’s eleventh year,[fn] the city was broken into. 3 Then all of the Babylonian king’s officials came and sat at the middle gate, including the top official Nevu-Sar-Sekim, and Samgar-Nevu and Sarsekim.
4 When Yehudah’s King Tsidkiyah and all his warriors saw what was happening, they left at nighttime through the gate between the two walls beside the king’s garden and fled towards the Yarden (Jordan) river plains. 5 However the Babylonian army chased after them and overtook the king down in the plains near Yeriho (Jericho). They took him back up to the Babylonian King Nevukadnetsar at Rivlah in the Hamat region, and he pronounced his judgement on him. 6 The king had Tsidkiyah’s sons slaughtered at Rivlah as their father was forced to watch, and Yehudah’s officials were also executed. 7 Then they gouged out Tsidkiyah’s eyes and put him in chains to be taken to Bavel (Babylon). 8 Then the Babylonians burnt down the palace and the other houses, and tore down Yerushalem’s walls.

52:4-14:
4 so on the 10th of the tenth month of the ninth year of King Tsidkiyah’s reign, the Babylonian King Nevukadnetsar (Nebuchadnezzar) came and surrounded Yerushalem with all his army. They took action to put the city under siege[ref] 5 and the it remained under siege until the eleventh year of King Tsidkiyah’s reign. 6 By the 9th of the fourth month, the famine was so severe in the city that there was no more food for the residents. 7 Then the city was broken into,[ref] and all the fighting men fled out of the city at night by the way of the gate that was between the two walls near the king’s garden, even though the Kasdim (Chaldeans) were all around the city. So they went in the direction of the Aravah plain along the Yarden (Jordan) river. 8 But the Chaldean army chased after the king, and overtook Tsidkiyah in the Yarden river plains near Yeriho (Jericho). All his army was then scattered away from him. 9 They captured the king and brought him up to the Babylonian king at Rivlah in Hamat region, where he passed sentence on him. 10 Then the Babylonian king slaughtered Tsidkiyah’s sons right there in front of his eyes, and he also slaughtered all of Yehudah’s leaders there at Rivlah. 11 Then he had Tsidkiyah’s eyes gouged out, shackled him with bronze chains, and took him to Bavel (Babylon) where the Babylonian king put him in prison until he died there.[ref]
12 Then on the 10th of the fifth month in the nineteenth year of the Babylonian King Nevukadnetsar’s (Nebuchadnezzar’s) reign, Nevuzar-Adan came to Yerushalem (Jerusalem). He was the commander of the king’s bodyguards and a servant of the Babylonian king. 13 He burnt down Yahweh’s house,[ref] the king’s palace, and all the homes in Yerushalem, as well as every important building in the city. 14 As for the walls all around Yerushalem, they were pulled down by the Babylonian army who were with the commander of the bodyguards.
