Jeremiah 52:10-11

Context
52:10 The king of Babylon had Zedekiah’s sons put to death while Zedekiah was forced to watch. He also had all the nobles of Judah put to death there at Riblah. 52:11 He had Zedekiah’s eyes put out and had him bound in chains. 1  Then the king of Babylon had him led off to Babylon and he was imprisoned there until the day he died.

Jeremiah 52:25-27

Context
52:25 From the city he took an official who was in charge of the soldiers, seven of the king’s advisers who were discovered in the city, an official army secretary who drafted citizens 2  for military service, and sixty citizens who were discovered in the middle of the city. 52:26 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 52:27 The king of Babylon ordered them to be executed 3  at Riblah in the territory of Hamath.

So Judah was taken into exile away from its land.

1 tn Heb “fetters of bronze.” The more generic “chains” is used in the translation because “fetters” is a word unfamiliar to most modern readers.

2 tn Heb “men, from the people of the land” (also later in this verse).

3 tn Heb “struck them down and killed them.”
