4 UZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda lawo wonke amabutho bathi bebabona babaleka+ baphuma edolobheni ebusuku ngendlela eqonda engadini yenkosi. Baphuma ngegedi eliphakathi kwemiduli emibili, babaleka ngendlela eqonda e-Arabha.+ 5 Kodwa amabutho amaKhaledi abaxotshanisa, amthola uZedekhiya emagcekeni eJerikho.+ Ambamba amhambisa kuNebhukhadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni owayeseRibhila+ elizweni leHamathi.+ UNebhukhadinezari wamgweba uZedekhiya. 6 Inkosi yeBhabhiloni yathi amadodana kaZedekhiya abulawe phambi kwamehlo akhe khonapho eRibhila. Yaphinda yathi kubulawe lezikhulu zonke zakoJuda.+ 7 Ngemva kwalokho uNebhukhadinezari wabulala uZedekhiya amehlo wamenza waba yisiphofu, wasembopha ngamaketane ekhopha ukuze amhambise eBhabhiloni.+
