But the Chaldeans army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
 

39:5 overtook Zedekiah. Because of Zedekiah’s refusal to accept Jeremiah’s advice and his prophecies, the latter finally had their tragic fulfillment (Jeremiah 39:4-9). See footnote on Jeremiah 34:5.
