Jeremiah 52:8

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king,.... Not finding him in his palace, and being informed of his flight, and which way he took:

and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho:

Jeremiah 39:5;

and all his army was scattered from him; when they saw the enemy pursuing them, and near unto them, they left him, as Josephus q says, and shifted for themselves.
