2 Kings 24:18-25:21

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; he reigned
eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal daughter of
Jeremiah of Libnah.  He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, just
as Jehoiakim had done.  Indeed, Jerusalem and Judah so angered the LORD
that he expelled them from his presence.

Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day
of the month, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came with all his army
against Jerusalem, and laid siege to it; they built siegeworks against it
all around.  So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King
Zedekiah.  On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine became so
severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.
Then a breach was made in the city wall; the king with all the soldiers
fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king's
garden, though the Chaldeans were all around the city.  They went in the
direction of the Arabah.  But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king,
and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; all his army was scattered,
deserting him.  Then they captured the king and brought him up to the king
of Babylon at Riblah, who passed sentence on him.  They slaughtered the
sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, then put out the eyes of Zedekiah; they
bound him in fetters and took him to Babylon.

In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month — which was the
nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon — Nebuzaradan, the
captain of the bodyguard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to
Jerusalem.  He burned the house of the LORD, the king's house, and all the
houses of Jerusalem; every great house he burned down.  All the army of
the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down the walls
around Jerusalem.  Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried into exile
the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who had
defected to the king of Babylon — all the rest of the population.  But the
captain of the guard left some of the poorest people of the land to be
vinedressers and tillers of the soil.

The bronze pillars that were in the house of the LORD, as well as the
stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD, the
Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried the bronze to Babylon.  They took
away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the dishes for incense, and all
the bronze vessels used in the temple service, as well as the firepans and
the basins.  What was made of gold the captain of the guard took away for
the gold, and what was made of silver, for the silver.  As for the two
pillars, the one sea, and the stands, which Solomon had made for the house
of the LORD, the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weighing.  The
height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and on it was a bronze
capital; the height of the capital was three cubits; latticework and
pomegranates, all of bronze, were on the capital all around.  The second
pillar had the same, with the latticework.

The captain of the guard took the chief priest Seraiah, the second priest
Zephaniah, and the three guardians of the threshold; from the city he took
an officer who had been in command of the soldiers, and five men of the
king's council who were found in the city; the secretary who was the
commander of the army who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men
of the people of the land who were found in the city.  Nebuzaradan the
captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon at
Riblah.  The king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death at
Riblah in the land of Hamath.  So Judah went into exile out of its land.
