Gisulong ni Nebucadnezar nga hari sa Babilonia ang Jerusalem ug ang mga lungsod sa palibot niini. Uban niya sa pagsulong ang tanan niyang sundalo lakip ang mga sundalo gikan sa tanang gingharian nga sakop niya. Niadtong higayona miingon ang Ginoo, nga Dios sa Israel, kang Jeremias, “Adto kang Zedekia nga hari sa Juda ug ingna siya nga ako, ang Ginoo, nag-ingon: Itugyan ko kini nga siyudad sa mga kamot sa hari sa Babilonia ug sunogon niya kini.
