After an eighteen-month siege, Jerusalem falls in 586 BC. Zedekiah flees but is captured, forced to watch his sons killed, then blinded and taken to Babylon; the city and temple are burned and the people deported. Jeremiah, however, is treated kindly by the Babylonians, and Ebed-melech is promised deliverance for his trust in the LORD.
